Test of ITER conductors in SULTAN: an update

Rainer Wesche, Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Martin Vogel, Ciro Calzolaio

The ITER Toroidal Field (TF) conductor qualification phase has been carried out by testing short sample prototype conductors in the SULTAN test facility. This phase, started in 2007, has been substantially completed after minor adjustment of the conductor ...

Results of thermal Strain and Conductor Elongation upon Heat Treatment for Nb3Sn Cable-in-Conduit Conductors

Rainer Wesche, Pierluigi Bruzzone

The change of length upon heat treatment of steel jacketed, Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) is driven by the difference of coefficient of thermal expansion between Nb3Sn and the other components. The cold work of the steel jacket also plays an imp ...

Qualification tests for ITER TF conductors in SULTAN

Rainer Wesche, Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov

From February 2007 to May 2008, 18 short length conductor sections have been tested in SULTAN for design verification and manufacturer qualification of the ITER Toroidal Field (TF) conductor. The test program is focussed on the current sharing temperature, ...
