ET3-High temperature superconducting materials for fusion magnets

01.01.2010 - 30.11.2011
Forschungsförderungsprojekt
High-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials offer a considerable potential for magnet applications because of their extremely high critical magnetic fields and their excellent current carrying capabilities at low temperatures. In the framework of this project, the material properties of HTS materials developed and optimized by industry are characterized under different temperatures and before and after neutron irradiation. In detail: Report on properties of irradiated tapes from Bruker HTS: 2×10^21 m-2 (transport measurements including Ic-anisotropy); Report on the progress of conductor development: transport measurements on the latest generation of tapes from SuperPower and AMSC. Report on properties of irradiated tapes: Bruker HTS: 10^22 m-2 (transport measurements including Ic-anisotropy). SuperPower: Results of transport and magnetic measurements after irradiation to 2×1022 m-2; Investigation of the current flow in HTS cables from Industrial Research Ltd. (IRL, New Zealand, Hall mapping); Report on the strain dependence of Ic at 77 K and in magnetic fields up to 1.4 T (SuperPower and AMSC (344C) tapes).
