ShareSummary
Resin cracking, a cause of coil quenching in superconducting magnets, occurs when a resin contains small flaws and sustains high thermal stress. Seven epoxy resins were chosen in order to evaluate thermo-mechanical properties, small-flaw strength, and creep deformation at low temperatures. Although the plain specimen strengths consistently increase as the temperature decreases, the fracture toughness resulting from large cracks reaches a maximum at around 80 K and then decreases at 4 K. The loss factor during cyclic loading behaves similarly, because of low-temperature relaxation of the resin, and has a maximum value at around 150 K.
