Properties of stainless steels for fusion conductor jackets and their manufacturing techniques

Description

This paper reports on a superconducting cable for a fusion magnet that has to be reinforced by a stainless steel jacket which envelopes the cable. The jackets are fabricated by extruded and butt welded steel sections or by composing the jacket from drawn sections with longitudinal welds. Fatigue life and fatigue crack growth rates were investigated at 10 K for embedded and surface cracks for the candidate material 316LN. Embedded cracks are more severe as compared to surface cracks. The predicted cyclic life agrees with the measured one
