IEC 61788-6:2011 PDF

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.
