AC loss of Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) decreases after cyclic mechanical loading, but remains almost the same in case of Nb-Ti ones. It was observed during previous ITER CS, TF, and PF inserts tests in JAEA. The same phenomena have been detected on numerous ITER CS, TF, and PF short samples tested in the SULTAN facility. Experimental methods of ac loss investigation in JAEA-Naka and SULTAN were different, but the final results showed a good agreement. Analysis and numerical investigation of the present work were based on RF PF&TF CICCs SULTAN test results, theory of superconductivity, and our own physical and engineering understanding of evidence. Cyclic mechanical loading in both JAEA and SULTAN was initiated by electromagnetic force. In this paper, we attempt to explain why hysteresis, coupling, and mechanical loss decrease dramatically after cyclic mechanical loading and thermo-mechanical stress caused by WUCD (warm-up and cool-down) in Nb3Sn CICC.
