Dr Philip Michael (MIT - Plasma Science and Fusion Center)01/07/2015, 09:00ICMC-12 - Insulation and Impregnation MaterialsPoster PresentationLarge-scale superconductor applications, like fusion magnets, require high-current capacity conductors to limit system inductance and peak operating voltage. Several cabling methods using high temperature superconductor (HTS) tape are presently under development so that the unique high-field, high-current-density, high operating temperature characteristics of 2nd generation ReBCO coated...Go to contribution page

Elijah Shoemake (HYdrogen Properties for Energy Research (HYPER) Laboratory, Washington State University)01/07/2015, 09:00ICMC-14 - Cryogenic Materials Testing and MethodsPoster PresentationAdvances in additive manufacturing technology have made 3D printing a viable solution for many industries, allowing for the manufacture of designs that could not be made through traditional subtractive methods. Applicability of additive manufacturing in cryogenic applications is hindered, however, by a lack of accurate material properties at cryogenic temperatures. Nylon, commonly used in...Go to contribution page

Nadezda Bagrets (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology – KIT)01/07/2015, 09:00ICMC-12 - Insulation and Impregnation MaterialsPoster PresentationIn the growing field of HTS applications, finding an appropriate impregnation material for cables and coils remains a challenging task. In HTS cables and coils, tapes have to be able to withstand mechanical loads during operation. Impregnation is playing a role of mechanical stabilization. However, material properties usually change significantly when going to low temperatures that can...Go to contribution page

Dr Klaus-Peter Weiss (KIT, Institute for Technical Physics)01/07/2015, 09:00ICMC-12 - Insulation and Impregnation MaterialsPoster PresentationInsulating materials for use in cryogenic boundary conditions are still limited to a proved selection as Polyamid, Glasfiber reinforced resins, PEEK, Vespel etc. These materials are usually formed to parts by mechanical machining or sometimes by cast methods. Shaping complex geometries in one piece is limited. Innovative 3D printing is now an upcoming revolutionary technology to construct...Go to contribution page
