Database of the effect of stabilizer on the resistivity and thermal conductivity of 20 different commercial REBCO tapes

The world’s first database on the effect of stabilizers on the resistivity and thermal conductivity of 20 different commercial REBa2Cu3O7−δ (REBCO) tapes was established. The resistivity and thermal conductivity in the radial and circumferential directions were listed. The charging loss and self-protection ability of 20 different commercial REBCO tapes in the no-insulation coils were evaluated via simulation. By comparing and analyzing the data, the Cu/Ag interface was found to be the most probable primary factor determining the resistivity and thermal conductivity of REBCO tapes. Such a database can support abundant data for the design of the REBCO magnet or even the choice of REBCO switch or current lead. Another goal was to help the REBCO manufacturers find a feasible way to adjust the resistivity and thermal conductivity, thereby meeting different requirements of the REBCO magnet.
