Fabrication of superconductor for the DPC-TJ coil.

Summary

The authors describe the fabrication of the conductor for a forced-cooled superconducting coil (DPC-TJ) with the first conduit, which plays a role in sealing the supercritical helium from the vacuum. Because the DPC-TJ coil has a high average current density in the winding area, a (niobium-titanium)3-tin strand formed by the niobium tube method was selected. As a result of development work, a strand could be fabricated which met the following requirements: critical current density higher than 600 amperes/mm2 at 12 T and residual resistivity ratio value higher than 50. A fabrication line for the cable-in-conduit conductors using the roll-forming method was developed. It was demonstrated that large and long conductors could be fabricated for future fusion reactors.
