A model for the prediction of Nb sub 3 Sn critical current as a function of field, temperature, strain, and radiation damage

Description: Conductors designed for fusion machines must operate at high fields, under large mechanical loads, and in a high neutron flux. Present designs favor the use of Nb{sub 3}Sn with force-cooling by supercritical helium to extract large nuclear and ac loss heat loads. Consequently, the magnet designer must have a good knowledge of the critical current of the superconductor as a function of field, strain, temperature, and radiation damage. Expanding on work by Hampshire, et al. and Ekin, combined wit… more

A characterization of internal-Sn Nb sub 3 Sn superconductors for use in the Proof of Principles (PoP) coil

Description: High performance Ti-alloyed internal-Sn superconductors have been selected for use in the Proof of Principles (PoP) coil, and a 1.0 m o.d., 0.4 m i.d., solenoid designed to produce fields up to 15 T. The PoP coil, which will use forced-flow Cable-In-Conduit Conductors (CICC), will operate at 4.2 K and moderate levels of conductor strain. Here we report the results of detailed characterizations of two proposed PoP coil Nb{sub 3}Sn 19 subelement superconductor wires of different topology. We have… more
