Additive manufacturing is recognized as a potential technology to design and create complex geometries as well as a fast track to build prototype components. Different materials are possible to use, depending on the specific requirements of an application. Superconducting applications like magnets or rotating machines are demanding for the structural components. Either high and/or cyclic...
Nitronic 40 forged tubes are typically used for structural reinforcement in high field pulse magnet design and applications. To better understand the mechanical performance of this versatile high strength austenitic steel a series of mechanical tests were conducted. Tensile were performed at 295 K, 77 K and 4 K, and cryogenic fracture mechanics tests were performed at 77 K and 4 K. The effect...
The Joint Special Design Team for a fusion demonstration reactor (DEMO) was organized in 2015 to enhance Japan’ s DEMO design activity and coordinate relevant research and development (R&D) toward DEMO. The fundamental concept of DEMO and its key components were already reported with main arguments on the design strategy [1]. Development of cryogenic materials with higher strength for toroidal...
A friction stir welding takes advantage of elimination of solidification cracking, liquation cracking and porosity associated with fusion-based welding techniques. In the present work, aluminium alloy 2219 in temper T62 (solution treatment and artificially aged), which finds many cryogenic applications, was jointed with friction stir welding techniques. The mechanical properties in terms of...
Abstract
Hiperco 50A is a highly desired material for use in cryogenic applications, specifically for adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators (ADRs) due to its magnetic field shielding capabilities. Although the alloy has good strength, there is a concern with the material’s brittle behavior which is believed to worsen at low temperature based on previous tests. The testing described here...
The High-Entropy Alloy (HEA) CoCrFeMnNi, an fcc alloy has been shown to exhibit remarkable properties at cryogenic temperatures, including high toughness as well as an increase in both yield strength and ductility as temperature is decreased to 77 Kelvin. A considerable number of applications require materials with such properties down to 4 Kelvin. For example, liquid hydrogen storage tanks...
