In order to investigate effect of Ge addition to the Cu matrix on the
microstructure and the critical current density, three kinds of the internal
tin processed Nb3Sn strands with pure Cu, Cu-0.4wt%Ge and Cu-0.8wt%Ge alloys
were prepared. Nb3Sn formation was observed to be suppressed by Ge addition.
Jc in high magnetic fields, n value and the Bc2 was confirmed to be improved
by the Ge addition compared to the none additive one.
