The degradation mechanisms of state-of-the-art Nb-Ti/Cu superconductors are described, based on in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements during heat treatment. A quantitative description of the Nb-Ti/Cu degradation in terms of critical current density, Cu stabiliser resistivity and mechanical composite strength is presented. In an applied magnetic field a significant critical current degradation is already observed after a 5-minute 400 °C heat treatment, due to variations of –Ti precipitate size and distribution within the Nb-Ti alloy filaments. A strong degradation of the strand mechanical properties is observed after several minutes heating above 550 °C, which is also the temperature at which the formation of Cu-Ti intermetallic phases is detected. Several minutes heating at 250 °C are sufficient to increase the RRR of the strongly cold work strands inside a Rutherford type cable from about 80 to about 240. Heating for several minutes at 400 °C does not cause a significant conductor degradation in self-field and, thus, leaves enough temperature margin for the electrical interconnection of Nb-Ti/Cu conductors with common low temperature solders.
During Rutherford cable production the wires are plastically deformed and their initially round shape is distorted. Using X-ray absorption tomography we have determined the 3D shape of an unreacted Nb3Sn 11 T dipole Rutherford cable, and of a reacted and impregnated Nb3Sn cable double stack. State-of-theart image processing was applied to correct for tomographic artefacts caused by the large cable aspect ratio, for the segmentation of the individual wires and subelement bundles inside the wires, and for the calculation of the wire cross sectional area and shape variations. The 11 T dipole cable cross section oscillates by 2% with a frequency of 1.24 mm (1/80 of the transposition pitch length of the 40 wire cable). A comparatively stronger cross sectional area variation is observed in the individual wires at the thin edge of the keystoned cable where the wire aspect ratio is largest.
The load-independent Vickers hardness (HV) of the individual phases in a non-reacted Nb3Sn
wire has been measured and the yield strength (YS) of the individual components estimated
from the HV values. The YS and tensile strength (Rm) of the composite wire are calculated
according the rule of mixtures (ROM). Calculated tensile properties are compared with tensile
test results that were obtained for the entire composite wire, for the wire after removal of the
Cu stabiliser and for single Nb-7.5wt.%Ta fibres.
Conventional indentation hardness measurements to obtain load independent Vickers hardness values for the different phases in multifilamentary superconducting (SC) wires are described. The concept of composite hardness is validated for a binary metalmatrix metalfilament NbTi/Cu composite wire. The tensile materials properties of the individual wire components are estimated from their indentation hardness. The potential and limitations of this approach are critically discussed, based on a comparison with ensile test results obtained for wires and extracted NbTi filaments.
A test campaign was launched to determine the mechanical properties of the High Luminosity-Large HadronCollider (HL-LHC) 11 T Nb3Sn magnet components. The results can be used to accurately represent the mechanical properties in finite elementmodels that predict the stress and strain distribution in these magnets. Particular attention is paid to anisotropic mechanical behavior of the different magnet materials. Static and dynamic test methods have been applied for determining elastic materials’ behavior, and highly accurate Young’s moduli are obtained with the nondestructive dynamic methods resonance and impulse excitation at ambient temperature and during in situ heat cycles.
The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the thermomechanical properties of the polymers used in superconducting magnets need to be known in order to predict their stress state under the different magnet assembly and operating conditions.
We have measured Young’s moduli of typically used polymers during in situ heat cycles with the dynamic resonancemethod. The dynamic test results are compared with Young’s moduli determined from quasi-static stress–strain measurements at room temperature, 77 K and 4.2 K. A moderate elastic anisotropy is found for the fiber reinforced polymers. CTEs are compared based on dilation experiments. TheCTEs of the fiber reinforced polymers studied are similar to those of copper or steel. In contrast, the pure resins exhibit relatively larger CTEs.

Vergleichende Bewertung verschiedener Verfahren der E-Modulbestimmung für metallische Werkstoffe
(2017)
Für numerische Beanspruchungs- und Lebensdaueranalysen ist die Kenntnis des E-Moduls der eingesetzten Werkstoffe von zentraler Bedeutung. Für seine experimentelle Bestimmung wurden eine Vielzahl von Verfahren entwickelt, die zum Teil werkstoffspezifisch Eingang in die Normung gefunden haben. Prinzipiell können diese Verfahren in zwei Gruppen eingeteilt werden - die statischen und die dynamischen Prüfverfahren. Während die statischen Verfahren auf der direkten Messung des Spannungs-Dehnungs-Zusammenhangs während einer Belastung im elastischen Verformungsbereich beruhen (Zug-, Biege- bzw. Druckversuch) nutzen die dynamischen Verfahren die Analyse der resultierenden Schwingungen nach einer entsprechenden Anregung eines Prüfkörpers (Resonanz- bzw. Impulsanregungsmethode). Für verschiedene Werkstoffe wurden statische und dynamische Verfahren zur E-Modulbestimmung eingesetzt. Die Unterschiede und Vorteile der verschiedenen Verfahren werden vergleichend diskutiert.
The knowledge of the temperature-induced changes of the superconductor volume and of the thermomechanical behavior of the different coil and tooling materials is required for predicting the coil geometry and the stress distribution in the coil after the Nb3Sn reaction heat treatment. In this paper, we have measured the Young’s and shear moduli of the HL-LHC 11 T Nb3Sn dipole magnet coil and reaction tool constituents during in situ heat cycles with the dynamic resonance method. The thermal expansion behaviors of the coil components and of a free standing Nb3Sn wire were compared based on dilation experiments.
