Improving the critical current density of the $\mathrm{V}_{0.59}\mathrm{Ti}_{0.40}\mathrm{Ce}_{0.01}$ alloy superconductor through successive cold-working and annealing at different temperatures

The critical current density ($J_c$) of V-Ti alloy superconductors is strongly influenced by the size and distribution of microstructural defects that pin magnetic flux lines. In this work, the effect of successive cold working and annealing (SCA) at 550°C on the microstructure, superconducting prop
