Abstract
Results are reported for experimental and theoretical investigations into the influence of heat-transfer conditions on the current-carrying capability of composite superconductors made from Nb-Ti for the case in which the principal disturbing action on the conductor is current loading in a varying magnetic field. It is shown that the external heat-transfer regime affects the maximum transport current for the composite, but this effect is not large for conditions in which the external disturbances do not cause local transitions of the superconductor to the normal state. The theory is in good agreement (to within 5%) with experimental data.
