ICMC-12 - Insulation and Impregnation Materials
Poster Presentation
Large-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...

ICMC-14 - Cryogenic Materials Testing and Methods
Poster Presentation
Advances 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...

ICMC-12 - Insulation and Impregnation Materials
Poster Presentation
In 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...

ICMC-12 - Insulation and Impregnation Materials
Poster Presentation
Insulating 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...
