Vanadium–gallium (V3Ga) is a superconducting alloy of vanadium and gallium. It is often used for the high field insert coils of superconducting electromagnets.
Vanadium–gallium tape is used in the highest field magnets (magnetic fields of ). The structure of the superconducting A15 phase of is similar to that of the more common Niobium-tin|.
