scope:
This part of IEC 61788 covers a test method for the determination of copper to superconductor volume ratio of Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconducting wires.
This test method and the alternate method in Annex A are intended for use with Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconducting wires with a cross-sectional area of 0,1 mm2 to 3 mm2, a diameter of the Nb-Ti filament(s) of 2 μm to 200 μm, and a copper to superconductor volume ratio of 0,5 or more.
The Cu/Nb-Ti composite test conductor discussed in this method has a monolithic structure with a round or rectangular cross-section. This test method is carried out by dissolving the copper with nitric acid. Deviations from this test method that are allowed for routine tests and other specific restrictions are given in this standard.
The test method given in this standard is expected to apply to other superconducting composite wires after some appropriate modifications.
