Abstract — Russian Scientific R&D Cable Institute was obliged to produce and deliver 20% TF conductors and 20% PF cables for ITER magnet system. The task has been completed by the October 2015. Special technological complex has been accomplished to produce PF cables for both the Russian Federation (RF) and European parts and TF conductors for RF part. This work was the great scientific and technological challenge in development of tricky technologies in many aspects and directions. It also permitted to get many interesting scientific results. Developments of manufacturing processes were accompanied by extensive scientific studies directed to improve technologies and to find out the reasons of changes of properties of cables and conductors during manufacturing and testing. In this paper we present the extended review and summary of scientific results obtained during production time which allowed deeper understanding and improving manufacturing process and quality of TF and PF conductors for ITER magnet system. These results could be useful for suppliers of cables and conductors of superconducting magnets using ITER – like technologies.
This work was supported by ITER-Center (RF ITER Domestic Agency – RF-DA).
