Nb3Sn is one of the powerful candidates for the surface material of SRF cavities since it enables cavity to operate at higher temperature with high quality factor and has the potential to achieve high accelerating gradient. Electroplating method to produce Nb3Sn on Nb substrates has been developed and optimized at Fermilab. In this method, Nb3Sn is obtained by electroplating Cu intermediate layer and Sn layer on Nb, and then thermal treatment in an inert atmosphere is performed at a maximum temperature of 700℃. In order to confirm the reproducibility and dramatically advance the research on cavity application, KEK started electroplating of Nb3Sn with the same method but different plating solution. The Nb3Sn electroplating samples were characterized by SEM/EDS analyses. In this paper, the detail of the electroplating method in KEK and the evaluation of the electroplating sample are reported.
