Abstract

2G HTS coated conductor (CC) tapes are now used for electric device applications. The residual stress/strain induced in HTS coating films in CC tapes during cool down influences the critical current, Ic, and should be investigated. In this study, the thermal residual stress/strain induced in the REBCO coating film was calculated from deposition temperature (1073 K) to 77 K by thermo-mechanical analysis and numerical simulation. Additionally, the improvement in irreversible strain limit, εirr., with copper electroplating has been investigated.
