The first cool-down test of the TF coil is foreseen to take place in 2025. During the entire cool-down process, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature difference between any two positions of the TF coil is &lt;50 K to avoid irreversible damage to the coil caused by excessive thermal stress. However, the maximum temperature (<em>T</em><sub>max</sub>) within the TF coil cannot be directly and accurately obtained through experimental measurements; therefore, the thermal hydraulic analysis is crucial to prepare the cool-down strategy of the coil. In this paper, the first cool-down analysis of one CFETR TF coil is completed using the 4C code. The code is based on a 1D model of the helium flow inside the cable-in-conduit conductors coupled to a set of 2D cross sections of the steel structures, where the heat conduction is modeled. The thermal coupling between the turns and the pancakes, as well as the coupling between winding and casing, is also considered. The maximum temperature evolution within the magnet is computed and the optimized cool-down strategy (inlet temperature, inlet and outlet pressure evolution) is proposed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55133,"journal":{"name":"Fusion Engineering and Design","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 114988"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143826049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the influences of temperature and stress amplitude on the interaction between ratcheting and fatigue of CuCrZr at high temperature is studied through asymmetric cyclic engineering stress-controlled fatigue experiments. It is found that there are two competing failure modes in CuCrZr, namely, ductile failure caused by ratcheting strain under high-stress cyclic loading and crack propagation failure caused by fatigue damage under low-stress cyclic loading. With the increase of cyclic stress amplitude and temperature, the failure mechanism of CuCrZr changes from fatigue crack propagation failure to ratcheting ductile failure, revealing the critical transformation temperature and transformation fatigue load. Finally, the stress-based and energy-based fatigue life prediction models are established for CuCrZr alloy at high temperatures, which are verified by experimental data.
