In-situ neutron diffraction study of a heating treatment for Nb3Sn ITER superconducting wires
نویسندگان
چکیده
In-situ powder neutron diffraction studies have been performed during the heating treatment of a set of Nb3Sn wires obtained by the internal tin process. The different phases appearing during the process have been evidenced. A strong reorientation of the deformed copper and niobium metals induces an orientation on the Nb3Sn formed. Among the phases formed, the δ-CuSn phase is decomposed at 890K to form the γ-CuSn and Nb3Sn phases. The kinetics of these phases is in agreement with a diffusion-growth mechanism.

A novel numerical mechanical model for the stress–strain distribution in superconducting cable-in-conduit conductors
Besides the temperature and magnetic field, the strain and stress state of the superconducting Nb3Sn wires in multi-stage twisted cable-in-conduit conductors (CICCs), as applied in ITER or high field magnets, strongly influence their transport properties. For an accurate quantitative prediction of the performance and a proper understanding of the underlying phenomena, a detailed analysis of the...

Bending effects on Nb 3 Sn wires have been investigated to understand the critical current degradation of large Nb 3 Sn superconducting cables, such as the ITER conductors. Characterizations of the critical currents of various Nb 3 Sn wires were carried out by a previously reported pure-bending strand test device using the 20 T, 195 mm Bitter magnet at the National High Magnetic Field Laborator...
