The wide range of tensile strength values (1000-1700 MPa) simultaneously with the electrical conductivity of 55-75% of the international standard for annealed copper (IACS) are required for commercial Cu-Nb wires. For the industrial production, the optimal combination of physical properties must be supplemented with the reasonable cost. One of the ways to reduce the price of products can be...
The fatigue behavior of the Zylon fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composite (Zylon/epoxy composite) has been tested under quasi-static tensile and tensile fatigue loads. The distribution of the fatigue life at different stress levels were determined. The results show that the statistical characteristic of the static strength and the fatigue life can be satisfactorily described by the normal,...
High strength and conductivity CuAg micro-composites were fabricated via casting and accumulative bundling and drawing (ADB) process. CuAg with large cross-section exhibits competitive strength and conductivity properties for pulsed magnets use. The CuAg filaments and eutectic whiskers evolution during the compositing process was investigated. The tensile properties and thermal compression...
Large structural forgings of complex shape are required for several components of the precompression structure of the ITER Central Solenoid, consisting of a stack of six electrically independent modules and featuring a total height of 18 m and a diameter of over 4 m. The precompression structure allows the vertical tensile loads to be reacted and adequate preload to be maintained, in order to...
