  2. Overview of Research Activities • Bi2212 processing (XL, GN, YZ) • SMP & Sawtooth processing (w/Supercon) • Fiber-optic heat treatment monitoring (w/Muons Inc.) • Quench Experimentation (FH, LY, MT) • Bi2212 (VHFSMC) & MgB2 (w/GE) • Fiber-optic quench detection (w/Muons Inc.) • Quench Modeling (WKC, QL, MP) • Experimentally validated YBCO micro & coil models • Peridynamic modeling of Bi2212 failure • Ancillary Materials (XL, AK) • High strength Ag-Al sheaths for Bi2212 (w/Supercon) • Thermally conducting electrical insulators for improved quench protection (w/nGimat)

  3. High field quenching of Bi2212 coils • “Understanding the quench process in RW2212 conductors and test coils so as to provide reliable protection strategies for large magnets” • Does high magnetic field make quench propagation faster and thus quench detection easier? • What dominates, reduced Tc or reduced Ic, (It/Ic=constant)? • Small size multilayer coils were wind-and-reacted with OST Bi2212 strands, and both 2-D and 3-D quench propagations were studied at 4.2K and up to 20T. More stability, due to lower It Less stability, due to lower Tcs

  4. Bi2212 quench results • Higher Field  Tcs and MQE decrease, reduced stability (though still very stable, MQE over hundreds mJ). • NZPV decreases with field in lower field range (<5 T). But at higher field (>8 T), the balanced effects of reduced Ic and Tc result in relatively constant NZPV. MQE 3-D Coil, It/Ic=40% Y: turn-to-turn Z: layer-to-layer 3-D Coil, It/Ic=60%, Y 2-D Coil, It/Ic=60% 3-D Coil, It/Ic=60% 3-D Coil, It/Ic=60%, Z 3-D Coil, It/Ic=60% 2-D Coil, It/Ic=80%, Y 3-D Coil, It/Ic=40%, Y 2-D Coil, It/Ic=80% 2-D Coil, It/Ic=80% 3-D Coil, It/Ic=40% 2-D Coil, It/Ic=60%,Y 3-D Coil, It/Ic=40%, Z 2-D Coil, It/Ic=60% Quench propagation along longitudinal direction Quench propagation along transverse directions

  5. Fiber optic quench detection • Investigation of Rayleigh backscattering and fiber Bragg gratings for quench detection • Rayleigh offers a fully distributed sensorw/ impressive spatial resolution • FBGs are quasi-distributed sensors with a fast sampling rate (>5 kHz) • Addressing limitations of optical fibers in cryogenic environments • HTS compatible metallic and/or oxide based coatings • Integration into a magnet system

  6. Quench modeling of YBCO • Start with microscopic CC tape models – center piece for coil models and optimization • Focus on coil models – followed by detection and protection simulations • Aided by experiments – model validations and property characterizations • Finish with cluster-enabled, full-scale 3D HTS quench analysis tool

  7. Experimental Validation Voltage (V) Model Experiment 40 K Dashed: experiment Solid: model 50 K 60 K 70 K • Modeldetails: W. K.

Applied Physics 2007

  8. Embed conductor model into a hybrid 3D coil model (experimentally validated)

  9. HTS needs a new insulation! • Chemical issues for Bi2212 • Fill factor issues for both Bi2212 and YBCO • NCSU & nGimat jointly developing a thin oxide coating (doped TiO2) that is thermally conducting and electrically insulating kapton New oxide Coating on Bi2212 after heat treatment
