Estimation of the superconducting joint for the forced-cooled superconducting poloidal coil for the Large Helical Device
- Toshiba Corp., Yokohama (Japan); and others
The authors applied a new solid state bonding technique to the joints of the forced-cooled superconducting poloidal coils for LHD. The NbTi/Cu wires of the cable-in-conduit (CIC) conductors were joined superconductively by this technique to realize the low electrical resistance and compactness. They make several joint samples and study the joint condition among the NbTi filaments. By the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) they make sure that the filaments are joined with very narrow gaps. They measure the magnetization of the joint using Superconducting Quantum Interference Device and estimate the effective diameter of the filaments to be about 90 {micro}m. This value shows that the joint is magnetically stable by the adiabatic theory.
