The degradation of the critical current density in a Nb3Sn tape conductor due to parallel and transversal strain
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to investigate the influence of mechanical strain on the intrinsic critical current density, a tape conductor is selected as a simple two-dimensional model. In a tape geometry a homogeneous strain distribution can be generated with an external load. A new experimental setup is designed to maintain two different components of the strain tensor (transverse and axial) in a superconducting tape. In this experiment the effects of the distortional and the volume strain are separated. The dependence of the direction of the magnetic field on the strain-current relation is measured by changing the orientation of the sample and the press inside the magnet bore. Preliminary three different sample materials (all Nb3Sn) are investigated with an axial strain inside the superconductor.

متن کاملToward an Accurate Scaling Relation for the Critical Current in Niobium–Tin Conductors
Until a few years ago, a set of equations commonly referred to as the Summers relations gave the most accurate description of the critical current in Nb3Sn conductors as a function of applied field, temperature and axial strain. Although highly empirical, they describe reasonably well the critical current data of past Nb3Sn conductors. New data from various types of Nb3Sn conductors, as well as...

The non-Cu critical current density of Nb3Sn strands has been pushed towards 3000 A/mm2 (12 T, 4.2 K) by increasing the Sn content and reducing the interfilamentary Cu. We compare the susceptibility to A15 filament breakage (under 0.5% bend strain) of the new high-Jc internal Sn conductor geometries with both high-Jc Powder-in-Tube (PIT) and low hysteresis loss distributed filament ITER designs...

The shape and geometry of the flow field have considerable effects on the transfer rate of the reactants toward the catalyst layer and consequently the performance of the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell. In this study, a novel PEM fuel cell with pin-type flow field is proposed in order to reduce the wake regions, increase the oxygen transfer rate into the catalyst layer and the cur...
