The critical current density (J(c)) of Nb3Sn strand has been significantly improved over the last several years. For most magnet applications, high J(c) internal tin has displaced bronze process strand. The highest J(c) values are obtained from distributed barrier strands. We have continued development of strands made with Nb-47wt% Ti rods to supply the dopant, and have achieved J(c) values of 3000 A/mm(2) (12 T, 4.2 K). Such wires have very good higher field performance as well, reaching 1700 A/mm(2) at 15 T. To reduce the effective filament diameter in these high J(c) strands, the number of subelement rods incorporated into the final restack billet has been increased to 127 in routine production, and results are presented on experimental 217 stacks. A new re-extrusion technique for improving the monofilament shape is also described. For fusion applications such as ITER, we have developed single-barrier internal tin strands having non-Cu J(c) values over 1100 A/mm(2) (12 T, 4.2 K) with hysteresis losses less than 700 mJ/cm(3) over non-Cu volume. The J(c)-strain behavior of such composites is also presented.
