Abstract
Wind & react Bi-2212 inserts have been manufactured and tested inside a wide-bore NbTi - Nb3Sn magnet providing a background field up to 20 T at 4.2 K. A pair of six-layer concentric coils both achieved critical currents of 350 A (JE = 200 A/mm2) in a 20 T background field. A thicker 14-layer insert made from 119 m of round wire had a critical quench current IQ of 287 A (JE = 162 A/mm2) at the same field and contributed to a combined central field of 22.5 T. This is a record for a fully superconducting magnet at 4.2 K. The 14-layer coil, equipped with an external protective shunt, was used for an extensive series of quench measurements and endured > 150 quenches without damage. Minimum quench energies were found to be in the range of 200-500 mJ in background fields of 15-20 T when the coil carried 70-95% of its critical quench current.
