Impact of mechanical and thermal cycles at different operating conditions on the ITER toroidal field coil conductor performance

The impact of electromagnetic (EM) and thermal cyclic loading (referred as warm-up-cool-down-WUCD) on the Nb3Sn cable in conduit conductors for the toroidal field magnets of the ITER tokamak should be carefully assessed for the proper operation of the mach ...

Estimation of performance of Nb3Sn CICC with thermal strain distribution

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Rainer Wesche

In the last few years, the critical temperature (Tc) of several ITER cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) was determined by magnetization measurements at zero current. The distribution of the critical temperatures (Tc), caused by variation of strain in the N ...
