Abstract
A compact high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet, which consists of a stack of 500 HTS thin film annuli, was constructed and tested. Each thin film annulus, manufactured by the AMSC using the Rolling Assisted Bi-axially Textured Substrate (RABiTS) method, has a square cross-section of 40mm×40mm with a thickness of 80m. It has a 25-mm center hole created by machining. This paper reports a study on the anisotropic Jc issue due to the rolling procedure of the Ni substrate direction and its impact on field homogeneity. Also, three different stacking methods with rotation angles of 22.5°, 90°, and 0° against the rolling direction have been tested to study their impacts on strength, spatial homogeneity, and temporal stability of trapped fields. Finally, the 500-annulus magnet was tested at 21K under a cryogen-free environment using a GM cryocooler. The spatial field homogeneity and temporal stability were measured at 21K and compared with those obtained in a bath of liquid nitrogen at 77K.
