Critical current densities and microstructures in Rod-in-Tube and Tube Type Nb3Sn strands - Present status and prospects for improvement

X Xu, M D Sumption, S Bhartiya +2

In this work, the transport and magnetization properties of distributed-barrier Rod-in-Tube (RIT) strands and Tube Type strands are studied. While Tube Type strands had smaller mag…

Drawing induced texture and the evolution of superconductive properties with heat treatment time in powder-in-tube in-situ processed MgB2 strands

M. A. Susner, T. W. Daniels, M. D. Sumption +1

Monocore powder-in-tube MgB2 strands were cold-drawn and heat-treated at 600C and 700C for times of up to 71 hours and structure-property relationships examined. Drawing-induced el…

Influence of Strand Design, Boron Type, and Carbon Doping Method on the Transport Properties of Powder-in-Tube MgB2-XCX Strands

Y. Yang, M. Susner, M. D. Sumption +3

The transport properties of a number of MgB2 strands have been investigated in terms of their response to strand design, starting B powder choice, and the approach to C doping used…

Critical Current Density and n-values of MgB2 Strands over a Wide Range of Temperatures and Fields

G Z Li, Y Yang, M A Susner +2

Transport measurements of critical current density, Jct, in monocore powder-in-tube MgB2 strands have been carried out at temperatures, T, of from 4.2 K to 40 K, and in transverse…

Enhanced superconducting properties of pre-doped B powder type MgB2 strands

M. A. Susner, Y. Yang, M. D. Sumption +4

Conventional doping methods that directly add C or a C-bearing species to Mg+B powder have the disadvantage of adding C inhomogeneously, yielding either under-reacted regions or bl…

Thermal Diffusion and Quench Propagation in YBCO Pancake Coils Wound with ZnO-and Mylar Insulations

M. D. Sumption, M. Majoros, M. Susner +5

The thermal diffusion properties of several different kinds of YBCO insulations and the quench properties of pancake coils made using these insulations were studied. Insulations in…
