Project description

The EUROTAPES project will address two broad objectives: 1/ the Integration of the latest developments into simple conductor architectures for low and medium cost applications and to deliver +500m tapes. Defining of quality control tools and protocols to enhance the processing hroughput and yield to achieve a pre-commercial cost target of 100€/kAm. 2/ use of advanced methodologies to enhance performance (larger thickness and lc, enhanced pinning for high fields, reduction of ac losses, Increased mechanical strength). Demonstration of high critical currents and pinning forces.
