V-based superconducting material has a shorter decay time of induced radioactivity and its mechanical properties are better than Nb-based materials. We thought that the V3Ga compound was one of the most promising materials in ‘low activation and higher field superconductors’ for an advanced fusion reactor. However, the present critical current density (Jc) property of the V3Ga compound wire is insufficient to apply to fusion magnet applications. We investigated a new route powder-in-tube (PIT) process using a high Ga content Cu–Ga compound in order to improve workability and the Jc property of the V3Ga compound wire. It was confirmed that a thicker reaction layer formed along the boundary of the Cu–Ga compound powder filament and V matrix. Critical transition temperature (Tc) values were shown to be almost 15 K, which was higher than conventional bronze processed samples. Comparisons of the transport Jc property and microstructure between different Ga content Cu–Ga compounds are investigated in this paper.
