Abstract	Dipole magnets for the so-called SIS-300 heavy-ion synchrotron at GSI are designed to generate 6 T with a field sweep rate of 1 T/s. It is foreseen to wind the magnets with a 36 strands Nb-Ti Rutherford cable. An important issue in the cable design is sufficiently low AC loss and stability as well. In order to keep the AC loss at low level, the contact resistance between crossing strands R_c is kept high by putting a stainless steel core in the cable. The contact resistance between adjacent strands R_a is controlled by oxidation of the Sn-Ag coating of the strands, like in the LHC. In order to investigate the effect of Ra on the stability of the cable, we prepared four samples with different Ra by varying the heat treatment and applying a soldering technique, resulting in values between 1 muOmega to 9 mOmega. The stability of each sample against transient point-like heat pulses was measured. The results of the stability experiments and a comparison with calculations using the network model CUDI are presented. It is concluded that variation of R_a has a strong influence on cable stability and that optimization of R_a is mandatory to properly design the cable for the SIS-300 magnets, or likewise for similar magnets that might be used at CERN for a possible LHC injector upgrade.
