N2 - Progress of the fatigue damage with increasing number of stress cycles at room temperature and its influence on the critical current at 4.2 K of Nb3Al multifilamentary composite wire were studied. With increasing number of stress cycles, the damage progressed in the order of three stages: stage I, formation of cracks in the clad copper; stage II, stable propagation of the cracks in the clad copper into the inner core portion, causing fracture of the Nb3Al filaments; stage III, unstable propagation of the main crack, causing overall fracture of the composite.
