Multifilamentary niobium tin solenoids

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Magn., v. MAG-11, no. 2, pp. 555-558
OSTI ID:4127928

The construction and performance of several small solenoids wound from filamentary composite wires are described. The Nb$sub 3$Sn is formed in the wire after winding by a high temperature treatment. The maximum field obtained was 12.2 Tesla, produced by placing a 9.9 Tesla Nb$sub 3$Sn solenoid in the backing field of a 6.5 Tesla Nb--Ti solenoid. The working current densities are substantially greater than those obtained with Nb--Ti.
