A saddle superconducting magnet for experimental MHD generator has been designed, constructed and tested. The magnet has [phi] 44 cm warm bore, 103 cm effective magnetic length and 4 T central field. It consists of 17 layers, each layer has two circular saddle coils with 54.5[degree] segment cross section. The conductor is 2 mm [times] 10 mm NbTi monolithic provided by Supercon Inc.. The coils are assembled on the bore tube by spiral bandings. The performances and the test results of the saddle superconducting magnet will be presented in this paper.
