Design of a cryocooler-cooled large bore superconducting magnet for a 30T hybrid magnet

We are now developing a 30 T hybrid magnet utilizing a cryocooler-cooled superconducting magnet wound with highly strengthened (Nb, Ti)/sub 3/Sn. Diameter of the room temperature bore of the superconducting magnet is 360 mm and it generates 11.1 T. Water cooled resistive insert magnet generates 18.9 T, thus the hybrid magnet generates a central field of 30.0 T. The (Nb, Ti)/sub 3/Sn multifilamentary wires are strengthened by Cu/NbTi composite which volume ratio in conductor is about 35%. The reinforcing Cu/NbTi composite changes to CuTi intermetallic compounds during heat treatment for reaction of (Nb, Ti)/sub 3/Sn phase formation. The (Nb, Ti)/sub 3/Sn coil with inner diameter of 400 mm will be fabricated by wind and react method with Cu/NbTi reinforced (Nb, Ti)/sub 3/Sn wires. The innermost section of (Nb, Ti)/sub 3/Sn coil is wound with a wire which diameter is 1.85 mm and next second section is wound with a wire diameter of 1.8 mm. The (Nb, Ti)/sub 3/Sn coil is operated at 303 A and generates 5.8 T. The NbTi coil is wound with NbTi wires of 2.0 mm and 1.6 mm diameters. The NbTi coil generates 5.3 T at an operating current of 350 A. The maximum hoop stress is under 220 MPa for (Nb, Ti)/sub 3/Sn coil and 200 MPa for NbTi coil.
