Abstract

For the endurance evaluation of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS), the mechanical and transport properties of multifilamentary Bi 2Sr 2Ca 2Cu 3O 10+ x (Bi-2223) superconducting tapes with different reinforcements subjected to high-cycle axial fatigue loading were investigated at 77 K in the self-field. The mechanical fatigue limits based on the relations between the applied stress amplitude and the numbers of cyclic steps to reach failure ( S– N f curves) were obtained. The transport properties were evaluated with the increase of repeated cycles, N, at different applied stress amplitudes which eventually leads to the electric fatigue limit. The influence of reinforcement on the mechanical and transport properties of Bi-2223 tapes were discussed. Fractographic observation was performed in order to understand the I c degradation mechanism in fatigue tested Bi-2223 tapes.
