“…After the LHC, large scale fusion systems envisage the use of HTS current leads. The ITER fusion reactor requires 60 HTS current leads for the powering of the toroidal (68 kA DC), poloidal (45-52 kA pulsed), central solenoid (45 kA pulsed) and correction (10 kA pulsed) coils 39) . The total current to be transferred is about 2.5 MA.…”

Synopsis:With the continuing improvement of properties of High T c Superconductors (HTS), their application to accelerator technology is becoming increasingly attractive. While the medium to long-term goal for their use in this field will be for high field magnets, the materials now available enable a number of specific applications which benefit from their characteristics and make them a valid alternative to conventional Low T c Superconductors (LTS). If devices for electrical utilities generally seek to use nitrogen as cryogen, large superconducting accelerators rely on helium cryogenics, and allow operating at lower temperatures with consequent gains in electrical performance and temperature margin. After an overview of commercial HTS materials, applications of HTS to accelerators are presented, with examples of present and future use of HTS in the Large Hadron Collider.

Since the field of cryogenic applications and testing has become very valuable, demand for material specification and improvements in this area has increased as well. One of the possibilities for the characterisation of cryogenic materials with a wide range of tests can be found at the Cryogenic Material Test Facility Karlsruhe (CryoMaK), within the Institute of Technical Physics (ITEP) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Skills, knowledge and best practices, related to cryogenic testing, have been developed by CryoMaK for over 30 years. The facility provides a possibility of measuring mechanical, electromechanical and thermal properties of materials and components. Further it is possible to measure tensile force (F), critical magnetic field (Bc) and critical current (Ic) to examine the quench behaviour of superconducting current cables. This article describes new facilities as well as possibilities in relation to testing in CryoMaK.

“…Procurement sharing for the ITER construction was also approved at that time. The ITER MS is a key component of ITER facility, which consists of 18 TF coils, a CS with 6 individually powered modules, six PF coils and 18 CCs [1]. Regarding the procurement of the ITER MS, all six PTs make contributions.…”

Abstract. High field superconducting magnets need strong non-superconducting components for structural reinforcement. For instance, the ITER magnet system (MS) consists of cable-in-conduit conductor, coil case, magnet support, and insulating materials. Investigation of mechanical properties at magnet operation temperature with specimens machined at the final manufacturing stages of the conductor jacket materials, magnet support material, and insulating materials, even the component of the full-size conductor jacket is necessary to establish sound databases for the products. In China, almost all mechanical property tests of structural materials for the ITER MS, including conductor jacket materials of TF coils, PF coils, CCs, case material of CCs, conductor jacket materials of Main Busbars (MB) and Corrector Busbars (CB), material of magnet supports, and insulating materials of CCs have been carried out at the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry (TIPC), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). In this paper, the mechanical property test facilities are briefly demonstrated and the mechanical tests on the structural materials for the ITER MS, highlighting test rigs as well as test methods, are presented.
