We have measured the superconducting properties of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) as-supplied and following two of the heat treatment schedules used for the Nb3Sn strands in the ITER tokamak. The Ti-64 alloy is the standard choice in the superc... Read More about Superconducting Properties of Titanium alloys (Ti-64 and Ti-6242) for critical current barrels.

The development of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires is now at a stage where long lengths of high quality are commercially available, and of these, (Re)BCO coated conductors show the most promise for practical applications. One of the most... Read More about Modelling and comparison of in-field critical current density anisotropy in high temperature superconducting (HTS) coated conductors.

European Nb3Sn Superconducting Strand Production and Characterization for ITER TF Coil Conductor (2016)
Journal Article

The European Union contributes around 20% of the cable-in-conduit conductor lengths needed for the ITER toroidal field (TF) magnet coils. For that purpose, 97 tons of Nb3Sn superconducting strand have been fabricated over five years, the production b...
