The element diffusion process of Nb3Sn superconductors by bronze route was studied using X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy.The critical current of superconductors was measured by four-point method.The results show that a diffusion layer has formed around the boundaries between the filaments and bronze matrix after 15 h heat treatment.The diffusion layer thickness keeps stable after heat treatment duration of 50～75 h.The stable and solid Nb3Sn layer is obtained in the sample after 100 h heat treatment.Excessive heat treatment would induce superconductivity degeneration because of superconductor grain coarsening.The characteristics of the element diffusion process were discussed.The diffusion of tin atom is the governing factor in diffusion.In this study,Nb3Sn superconductors with good superconducting property were fabricated successfully at 670 ℃ after 100 h heat treatment.
