Abstract
As YBCO coated conductors are usually prepared on nickel or nickel alloy substrates, additional ferromagnetic losses are generated in the substrates when the conductors are exposed to AC magnetic fields or carrying alternative currents in practical application. In this work, AC transport loss factors of YBCO tapes with Ni-W alloy substrates were studied in DC magnetic fields. The influence of ferromagnetic substrate on AC loss and the repressive effect of DC background magnetic field on ferromagnetic loss in the substrate were presented and analyzed. The results showed that the AC transport loss factor of YBCO tape with Ni-W substrate decreased gradually with the increasing background field, and the minimum value of AC loss factor appeared as the field reach to about 18 mT and 45 mT for parallel and perpendicular applied field respectively. Based on the analysis, the method to reduce AC transport current loss in coated conductor with nickel alloy substrate is proposed.
