The ITER project is the largest international scientific collaboration aimed at developing fusion energy as a sustainable and clean source of energy. Its magnet system provides the magnetic confinement necessary for fusion reactions to occur and be sustained for long periods of time. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest particle accelerator ever built. It consists of a 27 km ring of...
Nitronic alloys are attractive because they have both good room temperature and cryogenic temperature properties. Austenitic alloys 304 and 316 usually have better ductility and toughness at cryogenic temperatures but they can have low tensile strength at room temperature than Nitronic alloys. US-ITER chose Nitronic 50 for the ITER central solenoid tie plates because they needed good room...
The SPARC tokamak requires large-scale, high-strength cryogenic structures for its toroidal field (TF) coil case. Due to the large electromagnetic forces induced during operation, forged XM-19 was selected as the case material in regions of highest stress. To qualify materials and processes for large forgings, a toroidal field model coil (TFMC) case was produced at relevant SPARC TF scale. A...
