Abstract

Electrical and mechanical characteristics of Type HT tape, which is standard 4.2 mm wide DI-BSCCO tape reinforced with metallic tapes, have been evaluated. Longitudinal distributions of critical current and n-index in kilometer long Type HT tape has proved uniform from end to end just like the original insert tape, which is Type H tape. Type HT-CA reinforced with 50 mum thick heat-resistant copper alloy is highly balanced tape with high mechanical properties and low splice resistance. Type HT-SS reinforced with 20 mum thick stainless steel has the best mechanical properties, which has been demonstrated under the actual environment in high field magnet, namely the hoop stress load test energizing a one-turn coil in external high magnetic field and liquid helium.
