Popis: In practical application of the 2G CC tapes, the characteristic I c response with respect to strain and magnetic field is important in designing superconducting devices including magnets and coils. In order to elucidate the strain effect on the critical current, I c, along the longitudinal direction of CC tapes, three different kinds of test rigs or methods were employed: a springboard bending beam holder which can apply continuously both tensile and compressive strains to the CC sample attached on the holder, a Goldacker-type bending test rig without any holder to support the sample during bending, and uniaxial tension test method. The strain effect on the I c varied depending on how the strain was applied, but all the probes verified that excessive straining on the REBCO CC tapes does affect the I c resulting in a significant degradation. The strain effect on I c under low magnetic field in both tensile and compressive strain region was examined using the springboard bending beam and a pair of Nd permanent magnets.
