摘要
The critical current density parameterization for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Nb3Sn production accounting for the three-dimensional (3D) nature of strain is significant for the analysis of the performance of magnet systems. A simple model for the 3D strain dependence of the critical current density in ITER Nb3Sn strands is proposed in this paper. It is on the basis of the strain-induced variation in the electronic density of states at the Fermi surface. The validity of the proposed scaling law is verified by making comparisons with experimental data acquired on the bare/jacketed Nb3Sn wire. The derived 3D model in axial form is capable of adequately describing the anomalies in the strain function of the Nb3Sn wires jacketed with AISI 316 L stainless steel, which arise from a multi-dimensional strain effect, while none of the existing research models can describe such trend. The model provides a new way of identifying the scaling relation for the critical current density in Nb3Sn strands.
