The Problem • If super conducting wires are stressed by forces generated by high field magnets, their ability to carry electric current might be decreased
The Procedure Sample Mounting Machine Our Samples
The Procedure • Ground with sandpaper • Polished with diamond paste
Acid Etch • Set sample in Acid Etch • Reveals Crystals • Crystals are the part that control the strain
Picture of crack Crack in Stainless Steel Sample
Conclusion • Stainless Steel- Cracks • Copper- Thinning • Based on the electrical results, the thinning is worse than the cracks
