Experimental and numerical analysis of faulty operation of a superconducting solenoid made of tape with high temperature superconductor
Abstract
Superconducting magnets allow obtaining high magnetic fields. The application of tapes with high temperature super-conductors enables them to operate in liquid nitrogen, thus decreasing operational costs. However, ceramic structure of the tapes is prone to mechanical damages, which can decrease critical current density and lead to malfunction of the device.
This work presents the results of the analysis of the operation of a faulty superconducting magnet. Preliminary design considerations and expected performance are calculated numerically. The experimental results show the degeneration of the structure of the tape. Possible causes of damage and available remedies are discussed.- Publication:
