Design Studies of a Superconducting Magnet using Bi/Ag Oxide Superconductor

Abstract

Using the datas reported so far on the mechanical properteis of Bi/Ag oxide superconductings of tape conductors, critical issues on designing a medium size, high field magnet are discussed. The mechanical properties of the conductors limit the scales of asuperconducting magnet into a narrow region of the radius and the generating magnetic field. In order to constract a large scale magnet beyond the limit, an intensive improvement the mechanical properties such as irrevasible strain and matrix yield stregth should be done on Bi/Ag oxide superconducting tape conductors.
