Niobium-tin

Niobium-tin (Nb₃Sn) or triniobium-tin is a metallic chemical compound of niobium (Nb) and tin (Sn), used industrially as a type II superconductor. This intermetallic compound is a A15 phases superconductor. It is more expensive than niobium-titanium (NbTi), but can withstand magnetic field intensity values up to 30 teslas (T), whereas NbTi can withstand only up to roughly 15 T.
