Fiber-reinforced-superconductors for a 15 T-class high-field pulsed magnet and their conceptual design

摘要

The authors are developing a novel type of Nb/sub 3/Sn superconductor with high elastic modulus fibers for application to high field pulsed superconducting magnets, called the fiber-reinforced superconductor (FRS). They describe the conceptual design of a conductor for a pulsed magnet using FRSs and present superconducting characteristics for monofilamentary FRS samples. Each monofilamentary FRS supports hoop stress under operation of the magnet. Short lengths of monofilamentary FRSs using tungsten fiber were prepared by RF-magnetron sputtering. Critical current measurement up to 15 T and a uniaxial strain test at 10 T have been carried out. The data support the conceptual design of the 15-T-class pulsed superconducting magnet using FRSs.
