The influences were investigated of smelting speed and tungsten element segregation on service performance of tantalum strip as superconducting wire barrier.The results show that the tantalum ingot can be purified and its microstructure also can be improved by slowing down the first smelting speed and raising up the second smelting speed,and therefore the product of tantalum strip has fine and homogeneous microstructure.By strictly controlling the tungsten content in the raw materials(≤0.002%)and reducing welding points or applying other welding equipment without tungsten welding pins,tungsten impurity into the ingot can be avoided and tungsten segregation in the ingot can be reduced to prevent fracture of tantalum strip during the service.
