Abstract: (Springer)
Since the discovery of superconducting Nb3_{3}Sn in 1954, continuous developments have led to a strong improvement of its properties. This chapter describes the evolution of Nb3_{3}Sn fabrication techniques since the 1960s and the main properties of modern Nb3_{3}Sn composite wires and Rutherford cables.
