摘要:
A process for manufacturing superconducting magnetic coils from strain-tolerant, superconducting multi-filament composite conductors (20) is described. The method involves winding the precursor to a multi-filament composite conductor (20) and an insulating material or its precursor around a mandrel (30) in order to form a coil (40), and then exposing the coil (40) to high temperatures and an oxidizing environment. The insulating material or its precursor is chosen to permit exposure of the superconductor precursor filaments to the oxidizing environment, and to encase the matrix-forming material (14) enclosing the filaments, which is reversibly weakened during processing.
摘要:
Double pancake coils include a pair of pancake coils of different dimensions, and are wound from the same continuous length of superconducting wire. The double pancake coils are coaxially positioned and electrically interconnected along a longitudinal axis to provide a multi-coil superconducting magnetic coil assembly. Each of the double pancakes has at least one of its pancake coils electrically connected to at least another pancake coil of an adjacent double pancake coil having substantially the same outer dimension. The electrical connections between adjacent pancake coils are provided with relatively straight or "unbent" segments (81) of superconducting wire even through the inner and/or outer dimension profile of the superconducting magnetic coil assembly along its longitudinal axis varies.
