CONCLUSIONS : 1. Tensile tests have been performed to; - generate engineering design data - help understand the influence of material processing - understand temperature dependence of the mechanical properties. 2. Careful tests methods and data analysis techniques have been developed and used to characterize the HTS superconductor. 3. The 295 K properties of un-reacted annealed wire are about the same as the reacted wire 4. A temperature dependence of stress-strain behavior is not evident with these tests conducted at 295, 77 and 4 K.
