Abstract

In this study, the fatigue test at room temperature and residual resistivity measurement test at 12K were carried out, respectively, using a 0 strand Cu-Ni/NbTi/Cu composite cable, in order to investigate how the annealing treatment effects on critical properties due to fatigue damage. Through a fatigue test of a 0 strand Cu-Ni/NbTi/Cu composite cables, a conventional S-N curve was obtained even though there existed a possibility of fretting among strands. From the resistivity measurement of a NbTi strand after fatigue tests, it was found that the RRR for annealed cables was 3 times more than that for as-received one, but with increase of the repeated number the RRR decreased which was resulted from the accumulation of damage such as lattice defects dislocation within the Cu stabilizer.
