Effect of Mechanical Loading on Coated Conductor Tapes Due to Winding Onto Round Cables

TLDR
In this paper, the influence of stresses/strains on critical current degradation in REBCO high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes wound onto a round cable were investigated.
Abstract
The influences of stresses/strains on critical current, I c in REBCO high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes wound onto a round cable were investigated. In the first step, the HTS tapes were helically wound on copper tubes with various diameters in the range of 2.95-8 mm. Considerably better results were achieved in case the superconducting layer was positioned during the winding at the inner side of the helix. The cables with tape wound on the tube with a diameter of 6.35 mm were subjected to bending tests with various bending radii in range from 21 to 60.5 mm. The I c degradation as a function of both the tube diameter and bending radius has been assessed from a current- voltage curve, from which the critical current was determined. The I, degradation in all samples was confirmed by microstructural investigation of an HTS layer by scanning electron microscopy.
