The superconducting magnet system for the JT-60SA consists of 18 toroidal field (TF) coils, a central solenoid (CS) with four modules, and six equilibrium field (EF) coils. The TF case encloses the winding pack and is the main structural component of the magnet system. The CS consists of independent winding pack modules, which are hung from the top of the TF coils through its pre-load structure. The six EF coils are attached to the TF coil case through supports with flexible plates that allow radial displacement. The CS modules operate at high field and use a Nb3Sn superconductor. The TF coils and EF coils use NbTi superconductors. This paper describes the technical requirements, operational interface and detailed manufacturing design outline of the superconducting magnet system for the JT-60SA.","PeriodicalId":285677,"journal":{"name":"Teion Kogaku (journal of The Cryogenic Society of Japan)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114756532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We fabricated YBCO films with different conditions including partial pressures of water vapor, the total pressure and the gas flow volume using the MT-RTR furnace with the vertical gas flow system, in order to investigate these influence of the processing parameters on the growth rate and the superconducting properties of the YBCO films. It was found that the growth rate of the YBCO layer increased under the conditions of the high gas flow rate, the low total pressure and the high partial water vapor pressure. As a result, 21 times higher Jc value was attained with the 17 times faster growth rate than that before optimizing the processing parameters in the crystallization step. This is thought to be due to the suppression of the coarsening of Y2Cu2O5 and CuO particles in the precursor film. Consequently, a high Ic,end-to-end value of 250 A/cm-w was achieved in a 5 m-long tape fabricated at a production rate of 3 m/h using only 2 lanes of the entire MT-RTR crystallization furnace originally designed for 10 lanes.","PeriodicalId":285677,"journal":{"name":"Teion Kogaku (journal of The Cryogenic Society of Japan)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117301911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of thermal radiation through a metal pipe, which exists between different temperature regions, its reflection and conduction in the pipe (funneling) have to be considered. This effect is much larger than the simple estimation derived from the solid angle between these temperature regions. In this paper, the heat transfer equation derived from a ray-trace model and an experiment conducted to confirm it are described.

The normal zone propagation was initiated by a resistive heater and the propagation velocity was estimated from the response of voltage difference between potential taps attached to the wire in a transverse magnetic field. The specimen was a mono-filamentary bare wire with a composite sheath of iron and copper. A part of the wire was cooled directly by liquid helium and the other was covered with a vacuum-grease layer for thermal insulation. The propagation velocity observed in each part was of a very low level in comparison with typical ones for usual NbTi wires, which may come from the high critical temperature and the low overall current density. We numerically calculate the propagation velocity with transient cooling models and discuss the normal zone propagation in relation to the cooling processes. We also evaluated the propagation of the normal zone in the MgB2 wires with advanced transport properties, which were attained in short specimens, under the condition of conduction cooling in a wide range of operation temperatures.","PeriodicalId":285677,"journal":{"name":"Teion Kogaku (journal of The Cryogenic Society of Japan)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127169707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that the in-field heat-treatment enhances not only the critical current density Jc but also the n-value for all samples used in this study. These enhancements for the monocore tapes were more remarkable, compared in those of the multicore tapes and wires. Therefore the in-field heat-treatment is more effective for the Bi2212 tapes with a large core size. Microstructure observation shows that the grain size of the monocore tapes decreases as the result of in-field heat treatment. The analysis based on the percolation model related to the local Jc distribution suggests that the in-field heat-treatment increases the m-value, which determines the shape of the local Jc distribution and is related to the n-values. The two Jc distribution model can explain that the increases in n- and m-values are due to the decreases in the aspect ratio of the grains during in-field heat treatment.","PeriodicalId":285677,"journal":{"name":"Teion Kogaku (journal of The Cryogenic Society of Japan)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128282306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
