A processing technique to form V3Ga in composite wires of V and a Cu-15.4 at. % Ga alloy is outlined. The structure sensitivity of the superconducting properties of V3Ga are demonstrated through quenching curve data. Improved Jc(H) properties are obtained with decreasing reaction temperatures, superconducting layer thickness, and wire core diameter.
