Powder-in-tube (PIT) Nb3(Al1-xCux)(x = 0–0.04) superconducting wires were fabricated by rapid heating, quenching and transformation (RHQT) process. With the addition of Cu, disordered Nb3Al A15 phase with stoichiometric composition was formed in the quenched wires and atomic long range ordering occurred during the low temperature annealing process, resulting in improvement of Tc, Jc and Birr performance compared to the pure Nb3Al sample. The highest Tc of 18.0 K, narrowest ΔTc of 0.6 K and best layer Jc of about 30481 A/cm2 @12 K, 4T was found in the Nb3(Al0·97Cu0.03) wire, which is nearly four times of pure Nb3Al sample. The Nb3(Al0·97Cu0.03) wire also shows the highest Birr value of 25.7T at 8 K and 12.9T at 12 K, respectively. The formed A15 phase exhibit uniform microstructure and composition. Flux pinning of the Nb3(Al1-xCux) wires follows the surface pinning mechanism, where grain boundary and stacking faults were considered as pinning centers.
