Abstract

The training effect in superconducting coils is eliminated by winding the coil with a composite material that includes both a superconductor and a normal material and then applying stresses to the wound coil in the direction that electromagnetic stresses will be applied to the coil during normal use and in a magnitude greater than the calculated magnitude of the greatest electromagnetic stresses to be applied to the coil.

Method of preloading superconducting coils by using materials with different thermal expansion coefficients

Patent Heim, Joseph R [Livermore, CA]

The invention provides a high magnetic field coil. The invention provides a preloaded compressive force to the coil maintain the integrity of the coil. The compressive force is obtained by reinforcing the coil with two materials of different thermal expansion rates and then heating the coil to 700.degree. C. to obtain the desired compression. The embodiment of the invention uses Nb.sub.3 Sn as the conducting wire, since Nb.sub.3 Sn must be heated to 700.degree. C. to cause a reaction which makes Nb.sub.3 Sn superconducting.
