Critical-current measurements on an ITER Nb3Sn strand : Effect of axial tensile strain

The dependence of transport critical current Ic on axial tensile strain was measured for a developmental Nb3Sn multifilamentary strand as a function of magnetic field B between 12 T and 16 T, at the temperature of 4 K. This conductor was from the first stage of strand pre-production for the central...

Description
Summary:The dependence of transport critical current Ic on axial tensile strain was measured for a developmental Nb3Sn multifilamentary strand as a function of magnetic field B between 12 T and 16 T, at the temperature of 4 K. This conductor was from the first stage of strand pre-production for the central solenoid of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project.
