“…The seamless tube used in this study is made of the modified 316LN austenitic SS and provided by Zhejiang Jiuli Hi-Tech Metals co. Ltd.. Its chemical composition and the specifications of ITER are listed in Table (1). The final outer diameter of the conductor jacket is 43.7 mm and the wall thickness is 2.0 mm, as shown in Fig 1(a).…”

“…The toroidal-field (TF) magnet coils for ITER are made of Nb3Sn-type superconducting cable-in-conduit conductors (CICCs) due to the requirement of high magnetic field [1]. The conductor needs special qualifications because it has to go through several process steps to form final superconducting coil, as compaction, stretching and long-term reaction heat treatment (RHT) after inserting the super conducting cable into the jacket.…”

The ITER Central Solenoid (CS) conductor is composed of 576 superconducting strands and 288 Cu strands assembled together into a multistage cable and protected by a circle-in-square jacket with the outer dimension of 49 mm 49 mm. In R&D to prepare for the ITER CS conductor manufacturing, mechanical tests of jacket, welding tests and manufacturing of 181-m long dummy conductor have been performed. In this paper, the R&D activities are presented, showing that as a result of this R&D, the CS conductor manufacturing technologies have been preliminary defined to start the procurement of the CS conductor.
