Description

High magnetic field is one of the important parameters required for lots of scientific researches. High temperature superconducting (HTS) materials have the potential to generate a magnetic field beyond 15 T. According to the commercial production technology development of the high temperature superconducting materials, the REBCO tapes are the promising candidate for high field magnet application. The maximum operation magnetic field of the Central Solenoid coil required for the next generation fusion device in China is around 20T. In order to achieve this magnetic field, the hybrid magnet design concept was proposed, and the inner high field part is planned to use the REBCO tapes, thus the REBCO CICC magnet technology is being developed at ASIPP. To meet the space confinement conditions, six stacked REBCO modules with an inner diameter of around 475.5 mm shall be connected through joints. Each module has 150 turns which shall be wound from about 560 m long CICC. Based on the design, critical manufacturing technologies such as HTS CICC forming, coil winding, insulation manufacturing, CICC joints and so on are under developing. Here, activities related to the magnet design, analysis and critical components manufacturing technology development were summarized and reported.
