A 42-cm bore superconducting coil using pre-reacted Nb/sub 3/Sn

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Magn.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6356611
A 42-cm bore coil is to be wound with 8 layers of high field conductor and 10 layers of low field conductor. Each layer will contain about 60 turns. The outside diameter will be 62 cm, and the length 57 cm. When operated at 1.8 K with 2300 A, it will add 4 T to the 9.3 T from a NbTi magnet which surrounds it. By using pre-reacted conductors we can obtain strength from cold worked copper and avoid the complications from having to heat treat such a large coil. Obviously, the advantages had to be weighed against the measures which would have to be taken to avoid damaging the brittle Nb/sub 3/Sn.
