Title: Method for fabricating multi-strand superconducting cable

Abstract

Multi-strand superconducting cables adapted to be used, for example, to wind a magnet are fabricated by directing wire strands inwardly from spools disposed on the perimeter of a rotating disk and wrapping them diagonally around a tapered mandrel with a flattened cross-sectional shape with a core having a wedge-shaped channel. As the cable is pulled axially, flexibly coupled wedge-shaped pieces are continuously passed through the channel in the mandrel and inserted into the cable as an internal support therefor.

Apparatus and method for fabricating multi-strand superconducting cable

Patent Borden, A.R.

This patent describes a method of fabricating a multi-strand cable. The method consists of: providing a tapered mandrel which is elongate along a direction transverse to the direction of taper and has a hollow core with a longitudinal wedge-shaped channel extending therethrough. Winding wire strands around the mandrel diagonally with respect to the transverse direction, inserting wedge-shaped pieces, articulately coupled together in spaced relationship by a superconducting ribbon means, sequentially through the channel of the mandrel, and drawing the wedge-shaped pieces and the plurality of wire strands to form a cable having the wedge-shaped pieces located within the wire strandsmore »« less

Flat multi-strand superconducting conductor with a separator

Patent Fevrier, A.; Kiblaire, M.; Maldy, J.; ...

A flat multi-strand superconducting conductor with a separator. The conductor is constituted by transposed strands which form two layers on either side of an insulating separator which is formed around a core including a continuou metal detector line so as to allow the transitions of the superconducting strands to be detected by measuring the voltage at the terminals of the conductor and compensating the induced voltage detected at the terminals of this detector line. Application to cryoalternators.
Method of fabricating composite superconducting wire. [Patent application]

Patent Strauss, B.P.

An improvement in the method for preparing composite rods of superconducting alloy and normal metal from which multifilament composite superconducting wire is fabricated by bending longitudinally a strip of normal metal around a rod of superconductor alloy and welding the edges to form the composite rod. After the rods have preferably been provided with a hexagonal cross-sectional shape, a plurality of the rods are stacked into a normal metal extrusion can, sealed and worked to reduce the cross-sectional size and form multifilament wire. Diffusion barriers and high-electrical resistance barriers can easily be introduced into the wire by plating or otherwisemore »« less
Method of fabricating a superconducting magnet

Patent Freeman, D.C. Jr.

A superconducting magnet formed of layers of serially connected helices of superconducting material on non-superconducting substrates is described. Each superconducting layer is deposited upon a non-superconducting layer in a manner such that alternate ends form superconducting joints. The superconducting materials are microscopic platelets of metallic particles bonded to each other and to the non-superconducting substrate.
