Abstract :
Outokumpu Superconductors is engaged as one of the suppliers in the developing of Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) dipole outer cable in the vendor qualification program. In the program, the authors used a billet size of 278 mm in the outer diameter. In phase IB, 15 billets were extruded and drawn down to the final diameter. The phase IA goal was to optimize some production process parameters. In this phase, 18 billets were processed. The wires for the phases IA and IB have been finished, and a summary of the results of phase IB is presented, focusing on the uniformity of quality. Some results of the different optimizing programs of phase IA are presented.<>
