High-temperature-tolerable superconducting Nb-alloy and its application to Pb- and Cd-free superconducting joints between NbTi and Nb3Sn wires

For more than 30 years, Pb–Bi alloy and Wood's metal (50% Bi, 26.7% Pb, 13.3% Sn, and 10% Cd) have been used as representative superconducting solder intermedia to establish superconducting joints between NbTi and Nb 3 Sn wires in high-field nuclear magnetic resonance magnet systems. However, t...

description For more than 30 years, Pb–Bi alloy and Wood's metal (50% Bi, 26.7% Pb, 13.3% Sn, and 10% Cd) have been used as representative superconducting solder intermedia to establish superconducting joints between NbTi and Nb 3 Sn wires in high-field nuclear magnetic resonance magnet systems. However, the use of Pb and Cd has been severely restricted by environmental regulations, such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. Herein, a novel method of forming a superconducting joint between NbTi and Nb 3 Sn wires without Pb and Cd has been proposed. This approach is based on metallurgical bonding processes using a superconducting Nb-alloy intermedium, whose fine microstructure is maintained even after exposure to temperatures higher than 650 °C. Further, fine crystal defects become sources of magnetic flux pinning centers. Among transition elements close to Nb, Hf is considered the most suitable additive for realizing high-temperature-tolerable (HTT) superconducting Nb-alloy intermedia. Utilizing the HTT characteristic of Nb–Hf, a superconducting joint between Nb 3 Sn filaments and one end of the Nb–Hf alloy core was created by forming a superconducting Nb 3 Sn layer at the interface through a chemical reaction. The other end of the Nb–Hf alloy core was cold-pressed with NbTi filaments, to connect their active new surfaces to each other in order to create a superconducting joint. Ultimately, a superconducting joint between NbTi and Nb 3 Sn wires was realized with a high critical magnetic field ( B c 2 ) of more than 1 T. The formation of the superconducting joint was confirmed by current decay measurements. This method of forming a superconducting joint is promising for application in environmentally friendly nuclear magnetic resonance magnet systems. Graphical abstract
