Manufacture of Keystoned Flat Superconducting Cables for Use in SSC (Superconducting Super Collider) Dipoles

摘要

The superconducting magnets used in the construction of particle accelerators are mostly built from flat, multistrand cables with rectangular or keystoned cross sections. In this paper we will emphasize the differences between the techniques for cabling conventional wires for cabling superconducting wires. Concepts for the tooling will be introduced. The effects of cabling parameters on critical current degradation are being evaluated in collaboration with NBS-Boulder. (ERA citation 12:008512)
