Abstract
A 40 T hybrid magnet has been constructed and commissioned at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CHMFL). It consists of a 10 T superconducting outsert magnet and a 30 T resistive insert magnet. As an important component of the hybrid magnet, the 80 K thermal shield is located inside of the cryostat protecting the superconducting magnet from thermal radiation. During the commissioning phase, a trip of the water-cooled resistive magnet triggered the quench protection system of the superconducting magnet, huge induced currents resulting in expansion and rupture of the oxygen-free copper thermal shield. In this paper, the cause of thermal shield rupture was investigated via finite element simulations. And the structure design and mechanical assessment of a new alternative thermal shield adopted for the 40 T hybrid magnet is presented.
