Superconductivity - Part 6: Mechanical properties measurment - Room temperature tensile test of Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconductors

This part of IEC 61788 covers a test method detailing the tensile test procedures to be carried out on Cu/Nb-Ti superconductive composite wires at room temperature. This test is used to measure modulus of elasticity, 0,2 % proof strength of the composite due to yielding of the copper component, and tensile strength. The value for percentage elongation after fracture and the second type of 0,2 % proof strength due to yielding of the Nb-Ti component serves only as a reference (see Clauses A.1 and A.2). The sample covered by this test procedure has a round or rectangular cross-section with an area of 0,15 mm2 to 2 mm2 and a copper to superconductor volum

Supraconductivité - Partie 6: Mesures des propriétés mécaniques - Essai de traction à température ambiante des supraconducteurs composites de Cu/Nb-Ti

La CEI 61788-6:2011 spécifie une méthode d'essai détaillant les modes opératoires d'essai de traction à exécuter sur des fils composites supraconducteurs de Cu/Nb-Ti à température ambiante. Cet essai est utilisé pour mesurer le module d'élasticité, la charge d'épreuve à 0,2 % du composite due à la déformation du composant de cuivre et à la résistance à la traction. La valeur du pourcentage d'allongement après fracture et le second type de charge d'épreuve à 0,2 % due à la déformation du composant en Nb-Ti ne servent que de référence. L'échantillon spécifié par le présent mode opératoire d'essai a une section transversale circulaire ou rectangulaire avec une surface de 0,15 mm2 à 2 mm2 et un rapport volumique entre le cuivre et le supraconducteur de 1,0 à 8,0 et sans revêtement isolant. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2008. Elle constitue une révision technique avec l'ajout d'une Annexe C décrivant un exemple spécifique d'estimation d'incertitude concernant les essais mécaniques.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61788-6 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 90: Superconductivity. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: – specific example of uncertainty estimation related to mechanical tests was supplemented as Annex C.

– 6 – 61788-6  IEC:2011 INTRODUCTION The Cu/Nb-Ti superconductive composite wires currently in use are multifilamentary composite material with a matrix that functions as a stabilizer and supporter, in which ultrafine superconductor filaments are embedded. A Nb-40~55 mass % Ti alloy is used as the superconductive material, while oxygen-free copper and aluminium of high purity are employed as the matrix material. Commercial composite superconductors have a high current density and a small cross-sectional area. The major application of the composite superconductors is to build superconducting magnets. While the magnet is being manufactured, complicated stresses are applied to its windings and, while it is being energized, a large electromagnetic force is applied to the superconducting wires because of its high current density. It is therefore indispensable to determine the mechanical properties of the superconductive wires, of which the windings are made. SIST EN 61788-6:2011

Part 6: Mechanical properties measurement –
Room temperature tensile test of Cu/Nb-Ti
composite superconductors
1 Scope This part of IEC 61788 covers a test method detailing the tensile test procedures to be carried out on Cu/Nb-Ti superconductive composite wires at room temperature. This test is used to measure modulus of elasticity, 0,2 % proof strength of the composite due to yielding of the copper component, and tensile strength. The value for percentage elongation after fracture and the second type of 0,2 % proof strength due to yielding of the Nb-Ti component serves only as a reference (see Clauses A.1 and A.2).
The sample covered by this test procedure has a round or rectangular cross-section with an area of 0,15 mm2 to 2 mm2 and a copper to superconductor volume ratio of 1,0 to 8,0 and without the insulating coating. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

4 Principle The test consists of straining a test piece by tensile force, generally to fracture, for the purpose of determining the mechanical properties defined in Clause 3. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Conformity The test machine and the extensometer shall conform to ISO 7500-1 and ISO 9513, respectively. The calibration shall obey ISO 376. The special requirements of this standard are presented here. 5.2 Testing machine A tensile machine control system that provides a constant cross-head speed shall be used. Grips shall have a structure and strength appropriate for the test specimen and shall be constructed to provide an effective connection with the tensile machine. The faces of the grips shall be filed or knurled, or otherwise roughened, so that the test specimen will not slip on them during testing. Gripping may be a screw type, or pneumatically or hydraulically actuated. SIST EN 61788-6:2011



61788-6  IEC:2011 – 9 – 5.3 Extensometer The weight of the extensometer shall be 30 g or less, so as not to affect the mechanical properties of the superconductive wire. Care shall also be taken to prevent bending moments from being applied to the test specimen (see Clause A.3). 6 Specimen preparation 6.1 Straightening the specimen When a test specimen sampled from a bobbin needs to be straightened, a method shall be used that affects the material as little as possible. 6.2 Length of specimen The total length of the test specimen shall be the inward distance between grips plus both grip lengths. The inward distance between the grips shall be 60 mm or more, as requested for the installation of the extensometer. 6.3 Removing insulation If the test specimen surface is coated with an insulating material, that coating shall be removed. Either a chemical or mechanical method shall be used, with care taken not to damage the specimen surface (see Clause A.4).
6.4 Determination of cross-sectional area (So) A micrometer or other dimension-measuring apparatus shall be used to obtain the cross-sectional area of the specimen after the insulation coating has been removed. The cross-sectional area of a round wire shall be calculated using the arithmetic mean of the two orthogonal diameters. The cross-sectional area of a rectangular wire shall be obtained from the product of its thickness and width. Corrections to be made for the corners of the cross-sectional area shall be determined through consultation among the parties concerned (see Clause A.5).
7 Testing conditions 7.1 Specimen gripping The test specimen shall be mounted on the grips of the tensile machine. At this time, the test specimen and tensile loading axis must be on a single straight line. Sand paper may be inserted as a cushioning material to prevent the gripped surfaces of the specimen from slipping and fracturing (see Clause A.6).
7.2 Pre-loading and setting of extensometer If there is any slack in the specimen when it is mounted, a force not greater than one-tenth of the 0,2 % proof strength of the composite shall be applied to take up the slack before the extensometer is mounted. When mounting the extensometer, care shall be taken to prevent the test specimen from being deformed. The extensometer shall be mounted at the centre between the grips, aligning the measurement direction with the specimen axis direction. After installation, loading shall be zeroed.
7.3 Testing speed
The strain rate shall be 10–4/s to 10–3/s during the test using the extensometer. After removing the extensometer, the strain rate may be increased to a maximum of 10–3/s. SIST EN 61788-6:2011



– 10 – 61788-6  IEC:2011 7.4 Test The tensile machine shall be started after the cross-head speed has been set to the specified level. The signals from the extensometer and load cell shall be plotted on the abscissa and ordinate, respectively, as shown in Figure 1. When the total strain has reached approximately 2 %, reduce the force by approximately 10 % and then remove the extensometer. The step of removing the extensometer can be omitted in the case where the extensometer is robust enough not to be damaged by the total strain and the fracture shock of this test. At this time, care shall be taken to prevent unnecessary force from being applied to the test specimen. Then, increase loading again to the previous level and continue testing until the test specimen fractures. Measurement shall be made again if a slip or fracture occurs on the gripped surfaces of the test specimen. SIST EN 61788-6:2011

Then, the load is increased again. NOTE 2 The slope of the initial loading line is usually smaller than that of the unloading line. Then, two lines can be drawn from the 0,2 % offset point on the abscissa to obtain 0,2 % proof strength of the composite due to yielding of the copper component. Point A is obtained from the initial loading line, and Point B is obtained from the unloading line. Point C is the second type of 0,2 % proof strength of the composite where the Nb-Ti component yields. Figure 1 – Stress-strain curve and definition

– 12 – 61788-6  IEC:2011 8 Calculation of results 8.1 Tensile strength (Rm) Tensile strength Rm shall be the maximum force divided by the original cross-sectional area of the wire before loading. 8.2 0,2 % proof strength (Rp0,2A and
Rp0,2B) The 0,2 % proof strength of the composite due to yielding of the copper component is determined in two ways from the loading and unloading stress-strain curves as shown in Figure 1. The 0,2 % proof strength under loading Rp0,2A shall be determined as follows: the initial linear portion under loading of the stress-strain curve is moved 0,2 % in the strain axis (0,2 % offset line under loading) and the point A at which this linear line intersects the stress-strain curve shall be defined as the 0,2 % proof strength under loading. The 0,2 % proof strength of the composite under unloading Rp0,2B shall be determined as follows: the linear portion under unloading is to be moved parallel to the 0,2 % offset strain point. The intersection of this line with the stress-strain curve determines the point B that shall be defined as the 0,2 % proof strength. This measurement shall be discarded if the 0,2 % proof strength of the composite is less than three times the pre-load specified in 7.2. Each 0,2 % proof strength shall be calculated using formula (1) given below:
Rp0,2i = Fi / So (1) where
Rp0,2i
is the 0,2 % proof strength (MPa) at each point;
Fi
is the force (N) at each point;
So
is the original cross-sectional area (in square millimetres) of the test specimen; Further, i = A and B. 8.3 Modulu
