Fabrication of 20 KA, 12 Tesla conductor using external bronze process MF Nb/sub 3/Sn

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Magn.; (United States)

A MF Nb/sub 3/Sn cabled conductor with a design critical current in excess of 20 KA has been delivered to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for stability test in the CWTX Facility. The 5.2 cm x 1.1 cm conductor, an adaptation of a 12 Tesla ETF design, is a 7 x 7 x 3 x 16 cable. The seven strand primary cables incorporate two 0.3 mm diameter external bronze process MF Nb/sub 3/ Sn strands and five barrier protected stabilizer strands. Critical current density in the active strands is approximately 5 x 10/sup 4/ A/cm/sup 2/ at 12 Tesla, 4.2 K.
