JOURNAL FREE ACCESSContinuous rapid heating to about 2, 000°C and rapid quenching to Ga bath, and additional transformation annealing at about 800°C for Nb3Al superconductors, the so-called RHQT (rapid heating, quenching and transformation) process, makes Jc characteristics of the Nb3Al superconductors promising in a high magnetic field. These RHQT processed Nb3Al superconductors show no so-called peak effect, i.e., they show a high Jc even in a lower magnetic field; thus these conductors are expected also to be available around 10T, e.g., for accelerator magnets. So far the jelly-roll-processed RHQT Nb3Al superconductors have been developed for high magnetic field applications, e.g., 1GHz NMR magnet; thus the matrix ratio has been reduced as much as possible to improve the overall Jc. However, excessive reduction of the matrix ratio would be one possible reason for the electromagnetic filament coupling, especially when these conductors are used in a middle magnetic field region around 10T. The increase of the effective filament size degrades the stability, especially in the lower magnetic field, where the Jc becomes much higher. In this paper, the filament coupling for the RHQT-processed jelly-roll Nb3Al multifilamentary superconductors is discussed, referring to the results of the magnetization measurement with a vibrating sample magnetometer and Jc measurement. It was found that the proximity effect might occur even if the designed thickness of the Nb barrier between the filaments was about 10μm. An observation of the cross-sections with SEM shows that this would be due to the partial reduction of the barrier thickness during the RHQ process.View full abstractDownload PDF (2356K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFabrication of YBCO superconductor by the MOD method has many advantages: precise controllability of metal components, wide flexibility to coating objects, and low-cost nonvacuum approach. We succeeded in the preparation of a high-quality coating solution that enables us to obtain YBCO films having high critical currents (Ic). We also investigated processing conditions: proper control of water vapor in furnace, suppression of the reaction between substrate and fluoride during heat treatments, and other process conditions. By their optimization, we can successfully fabricate the film, which has Jc of 4.6MA/cm2 at 77K, 0T. The results show the potentiality of the TFA-MOD method for high-temperature superconductor applications.View full abstractDownload PDF (2015K) -
E-J Characteristics in a Bi-2223 Silver-Sheathed Tape Wire in the Range of a Very Low Electric FieldTakeshi KODAMA, Mitsuhiro FUKUDA, Kazuo SHIRAISHI, Edmund Soji OTABE, ...2000 Volume 35 Issue 11 Pages 523-529

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSE-J characteristics in a Bi-2223 silver-sheathed tape wire were estimated in the range of a very low electric field by analyzing a relaxation of the magnetization in a magnet field parallel to the c-axis measured by using a SQUID magnetometer. The scaling of the E-J characteristics was examined, and the result was compared with the theoretical analysis based on the flux creep-flow model in which the distribution of flux-pinning strength was considered. It was found that the experimental result on the E-J characteristics was approximately explained by the theory, though a good agreement was not obtained for the scaling parameters.View full abstractDownload PDF (809K) -
Thermal Strain of Composite Pipes Reinforced with High-strength Polyethylene FiberAtsuhiko YAMANAKA, Toshihiro KASHIMA, Shigehiro NISHIJIMA, Touichi OKA ...2000 Volume 35 Issue 11 Pages 530-535

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSHigh-strength polyethylene-fiber-reinforced plastic (DFRP) pipes show different circumferential thermal strains between outer and inner surfaces with cooling. The strains were measured by means of strain gage on DFRP, glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP) and DF/GF hybrid composite (DGFRP) pipes to establish the design methodology of the coil bobbin showing negative thermal expansion coefficient in circumferential direction at the outer surface. The difference of outer and inner circumferential thermal strain decreased with increase of the ratio of inner diameter vs. thickness. The difference increased with the increase of the degree of anisotropy of thermal expansion coefficients in UD-FRP. The difference of outer and inner circumferential thermal strains was shown the largest value by DFRP, and the smallest one by GFRP. The difference was confirmed to be designed with the material parameters of UD-FRP.View full abstractDownload PDF (685K)
