Mechanical behavior of fine filament Nb-Ti as a function of processing (composite superconductors)

Experimental data on the mechanical properties of Nb-Ti filaments during standard wire processing from first heat treatment size to final wire size are presented. The fiber characteristics examined include fiber geometry, hardness, Young's modulus and ultimate strength. The mechanical behavior of fine filament Nb-Ti was studied under two different processing treatments. This research is relevant to the mechanical modeling of the Cu/Nb-Ti composite system.<
