The NbTi superconducting wires are used for the Poloidal Field (PF) coil of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Western Superconducting Technologies Co., Ltd. (WST) has produced conventional NbTi superconducting strand by single stacking for ITER. The final strands has been heat-treated with different duration. The properties of the NbTi strands meet the requirements to ITER PF strand specification. The diameter of the strand is 0.73 mm and filament diameter is 7.8 m. The multifilament composite strand is made up of Nb-Ti filaments embedded in a high purity Cu matrix. This paper presents the results of comparative investigations on critical currents(Ic), critical current density(Jc), AC losses of the strands.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
