Description
Cable-in-conduit conductor has particular benefits for superconducting magnets. It is rugged and provides cable-level stress management, it has internal flow of cryogen, flared ends can be formed readily and are self-stable once formed. Fabrication of long-length cable presents several challenges: the center tube must be formed and drawn using perforated strip; the cable must be pulled through a long length of seamless sheath tube and then the sheath must be drawn down to compress the wires against the center tube and immobilize them.
Procedures and practical experience for CIC fabrication will be presented.
