Description

The KIT-CERN Collaboration on Coated Conductors (KC4) was established as a research facility for the development of novel long-length Coated Conductor samples. This production line, originally established by Bruker, has been used to produce REBCO CCs since last year after its assembly at the Institute for Technical Physics (ITEP, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology). Recent measurements of the self-field inductive Jc show quite good values of 300 A/cm (width) at 77K, and there is potential for further improvement. Here we will discuss how higher Jc values can be achieved through the study of the growth defects of these REBCO tapes, which will help in extending the manufacturing e.g. towards wider tapes essential for High-Field HTS magnets.
