Abstract

For practical applications, the evaluation of reliability or endurance of HTS conductors is necessary. The mechanical properties and the critical current, Ie, of multifilamentary Bi-2223 superconducting tapes, externally reinforced with stainless steel foils, subjected to high cycle fatigue loading in the longitudinal direction were investigated at 77K. The S-N curves were obtained and its transport property was evaluated with the increase of repeated cycles at different stress amplitudes. The effect of the stress ratio, R, on the Ie degradation behavior under fatigue loading was also examined considering the practical application situation of HTS tapes. Microstructure observation was conducted in order to understand the Ie degradation mechanism in fatigued Bi-2223 tapes.
