Effect of stress on the critical current of Nb/sub 3/Sn multifilamentary composite wire

· Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)
A critical-current study of flexible Nb/sub 3/Sn multifilamentary composite wires has been conducted at 4 K in magnetic fields to 90 kOe (7.2 x 10/sup 6/ A/m) while the wire is subjected to high mechanical stresses. The results show that at stresses above 1--2 x 10/sup 8/ Pa (strains of 0.1--0.2%) the critical current is significantly degraded, with the magnitude of the reduction dependent on reinforcement techniques used in the wire's construction. The effect increases with magnetic field and results in the introduction of significant resistance at current levels well below the zero-stress critical current. Design considerations for the use of Nb/sub 3/Sn wires in the high-stress environments of large-scale superconducting magnets are discussed. (AIP)
