Description
A 40-kA Nb3Al cable-in-conduit conductor has been developed for the toroidal field coils of fusion reactors, because Nb3Al has excellent mechanical performance. This conductor consists of 405 copper-stabilized multifilamentary strands inserted into a CuNi case circular conduit. The Nb3Al strands are fabricated by the Jelly-roll process with a diameter of 1.22 mm. This conductor could be operated up to a current of 46 kA at an external field of 11.2 T. Accordingly, Nb3Al promises to soon become a useful superconductor for large-scale high-field applications, such as fusion machines
