Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen einer mehrlagigen Spule, wobei das Verfahren auf der Technik des Kaltgasspritzens oder Kaltgassprühens (Dynamic Cold Spraying) beruht.The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a multilayer coil, the method based on the technique of cold gas spraying or dynamic cold spraying.

Hierbei werden zum Beschichten mindestens eines Substrats oder zum Herstellen mindestens eines Formteils Partikel in ungeschmolzenem Zustand mittels mindestens eines Gasstrahls zur Oberfläche des Substrats bzw. Formteils hin beschleunigt und haften dort unter Umwandlung ihrer kinetischen Energie an (vgl. Druckschrift EP 1 382 720 A2 aus dem Stand der Technik).In this case, for coating at least one substrate or for producing at least one molded part, particles in the unmelted state are accelerated toward the surface of the substrate or molded article by means of at least one gas jet and adhere there with conversion of their kinetic energy (cf. EP 1 382 720 A2 from the prior art).

Entsprechend weist die Vorrichtung zum Beschichten des Substrats oder zum Herstellen des Formteils mindestens eine Kaltgasspritzpistole auf, wobei die Kaltgasspritzpistole und das zu beschichtende Substrat bzw. Formteil in einer Vakuumkammer angeordnet sind (vgl. Druckschrift EP 1 382 720 A2 aus dem Stand der Technik).Accordingly, the device for coating the substrate or for producing the molded part has at least one cold gas spray gun, the cold gas spray gun and the substrate or molded part to be coated being arranged in a vacuum chamber (cf. EP 1 382 720 A2 from the prior art).

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Leiter und Spulen, insbesondere supraleitende Spulen, werden konventionellerweise in erster Linie als Drähte hergestellt, häufig in Form einer Kupfermatrix mit Filamenten des Supraleiters.Conductors and coils, particularly superconducting coils, are conventionally produced primarily as wires, often in the form of a copper matrix with filaments of the superconductor.

Grundsätzlich werden Materialien als supraleitend bezeichnet, deren elektrischer Widerstand beim Unterschreiten einer bestimmten kritischen Temperatur (= materialabhängige Sprungtemperatur, wobei der Phasenübergang in den supraleitenden Zustand nicht abrupt, sondern kontinuierlich erfolgt) auf Null fällt und die externe Magnetfelder aus ihrem Inneren verdrängen (sogenannter Meißner-Ochsenfeld-Effekt).In principle, materials are referred to as superconducting whose electrical resistance falls below zero at a certain critical temperature (= material-dependent transition temperature, wherein the phase transition into the superconducting state is not abrupt, but continuous) to zero and displace the external magnetic fields from their interior (so-called Meißner- Ochsenfeld effect).

Als bedeutender supraleitender Werkstoff ist hierbei zum Beispiel Niobtitan (NbTi) oder auch Niobtantal zu nennen. Speziell bei spröden Werkstoffen, insbesondere bei Hochtemperatursupraleiter-Materialien (sogenannten HTSL-Materialien), erfolgt die Herstellung in komplexen Sinterprozessen.Niobtitanium (NbTi) or niobium tantalum may be mentioned as a significant superconducting material. Especially in brittle materials, especially in high-temperature superconductor materials (so-called HTSC materials), the production takes place in complex sintering processes.

Die so hergestellten Drähte werden anschließend zu Spulen gewickelt, meist auf Spulenkörper, die der Stabilisierung der Spule dienen. Zudem können die Drähte noch eingegossen werden, zumeist in Kunstharze. Dieses Eingießen in Kunstharze dient dazu, die Spulen vollständig zu stabilisieren, damit die Spulen den im supraleitend erzeugten Magnetfeld wirkenden großen Kräften standhalten; derartige große Kräfte wirken insbesondere in Geräten zur Kernspintomographie und in Geräten zur Kernspinresonanz-Spektroskopie (= nuclear magnetic resonance oder NMR).The wires thus produced are then wound into coils, usually on bobbin, which serve to stabilize the coil. In addition, the wires can still be poured, mostly in synthetic resins. This pouring into synthetic resins serves to fully stabilize the coils, so that the coils withstand the large forces acting in the superconducting generated magnetic field; Such large forces act in particular in devices for magnetic resonance imaging and in devices for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (= nuclear magnetic resonance or NMR).

Sind einzelne Spulenteile nicht ausreichend fixiert, dann führen die auftretenden Mikrobewegungen zum Zusammenbruch der Supraleitung (sogenannter Quench, bei dem der Supraleiter plötzlich vom supraleitenden Zustand in den normalleitenden Zustand übergeht, wobei sehr viel Wärme entsteht; besonders gefährlich ist der Quench bei supraleitenden Spulen, denn dort wird beim Zusammenbruch der Supraleitung die gesamte Feldenergie in Wärme umgesetzt).If individual coil parts are not sufficiently fixed, then the micro-movements that occur lead to the collapse of the superconductivity (so-called quench, in which the superconductor suddenly changes from the superconducting state to the normal-conducting state, generating a great deal of heat, and the quench in superconducting coils is particularly dangerous There, when the superconductivity collapses, the entire field energy is converted into heat).

In der Druckschrift DE 38 06 177 A1 aus dem Stand der Technik ist die Verwendung von keramischem Pulver mit supraleitenden Eigenschaften als Ausgangsmaterial für das Aufbringen von Hochtemperatursupraleiter-Material auf Werkstücke durch thermisches Spritzen offenbart; die supraleitenden Eigenschaften werden nach dem Aufspritzen durch eine gezielte Wärmebehandlung regeneriert.In the publication DE 38 06 177 A1 The prior art discloses the use of ceramic powder having superconducting properties as a starting material for applying high temperature superconductor material to workpieces by thermal spraying; The superconducting properties are regenerated after spraying by a targeted heat treatment.

Gemäß dieser Druckschrift DE 38 06 177 A1 wird die Stromtragfähigkeit der Hochtemperatursupraleiter-Schichten dadurch verbessert, dass das thermische Spritzen unter Bedingungen erfolgt, bei denen die Partikel im Spritzstrahl eine niedrige Eigentemperatur und eine hohe Fluggeschwindigkeit haben, wodurch beim Auftreffen auf das Substrat eine hohe Verformung bewirkt wird; die anschließende Wärmebehandlung erfolgt derart, dass ein Kornwachstum der Kristallite in der Schicht in Abhängigkeit vom Verformungsgrad erzielt wird.According to this document DE 38 06 177 A1 the current carrying capacity of the high-temperature superconductor layers is improved by performing the thermal spraying under conditions in which the particles in the spray jet have a low intrinsic temperature and a high airspeed, whereby a high deformation is caused when hitting the substrate; the subsequent heat treatment is carried out in such a way that grain growth of the crystallites in the layer is achieved as a function of the degree of deformation.

In der Druckschrift WO 2006/061384 A1 aus dem Stand der Technik ist ein Verfahren zum Kaltgasspritzen beschrieben, bei dem mittels einer Kaltgas-Spritzpistole ein Gasstrahl erzeugt wird, in den Partikel eingebracht werden. Die kinetische Energie der Partikel führt zu einer Schichtbildung auf einem Substrat, das eine Gefügetextur aufweist, die auf die sich ausbildende Schicht übertragen wird.In the publication WO 2006/061384 A1 The prior art is a method for cold gas spraying, in which by means of a cold gas spray gun, a gas jet is generated, are introduced into the particles. The kinetic energy of the particles results in film formation on a substrate having a texture of structure which is transferred to the forming film.

Gemäß dieser Druckschrift WO 2006/061384 A1 lässt sich durch geeignete Zusammensetzung der Partikel eine hochtemperatursupraleitende Schicht auf dem Substrat erzeugen. Dieser Prozess lässt sich zusätzlich durch eine Heizeinrichtung in einem nachfolgenden Wärmebehandlungsschritt unterstützen.According to this document WO 2006/061384 A1 By suitable composition of the particles, it is possible to produce a high-temperature superconductive layer on the substrate. This process can be additionally assisted by a heater in a subsequent heat treatment step.

In der JP 07 142255 A ist die Herstellung einer vielschichtigen Spule durch Zusammenfügen mittels gepulster Laserstrahlung offenbart.In the JP 07 142255 A discloses the production of a multilayer coil by joining by means of pulsed laser radiation.

Die WO 03/019589 A1 beinhaltet ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer supraleitenden Spule durch ionenstrahlunterstützte Abscheidung auf einen rotierenden Grundkörper.The WO 03/019589 A1 includes a method of making a superconducting coil by ion beam assisted deposition on a rotating body.

Gemäß der JP 63 207007 wird eine supraleitende Bahn durch Sputtern und Lasererhitzung mit darauffolgender Krisallisation auf einen Grundkörper geschrieben.According to the JP 63 207007 For example, a superconducting web is written on a base body by sputtering and laser heating followed by crystallization.

  • aus der gesprühten Leiterschicht die tatsächlichen "Einzeldrähte" sowie
  • bei mehrlagigen "Wicklungen" entsprechende leitende Verbindungen zwischen den einzelnen Lagen bereitzustellen.
Instead of producing a wire or winding a coil, for example, the entire structure of a coil is sprayed onto the coil carrier, ie a copper matrix, superconductor tracks and insulating material. By appropriate shape and / or by appropriately guiding the carrier material coils can be produced in any form and completely compact and stable, for example in the form of a stable block or in the form of a compact pad. In this case, the present invention now allows "windings" in multiple layers, that is to say in particular
  • from the sprayed conductor layer the actual "single wires" as well
  • provide multi-layered "windings" corresponding conductive connections between the individual layers.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß erreicht, indem die leitende Schicht mittels mechanischer Bearbeitung, zum Beispiel spanabhebend, oder per Laser oder dergleichen in mindestens eine wendelförmige Leiterbahn gebracht wird. Diese wendelförmige Leiterbahn wird durch Aufsprühen mindestens einer weiteren Schicht des Trägermaterials eingebettet.This is inventively achieved by the conductive layer is brought into at least one helical conductor by means of mechanical machining, for example by machining, or by laser or the like. This helical conductor is embedded by spraying at least one further layer of the carrier material.

Sodann wird durch Aufsprühen und durch mechanische Bearbeitung, zum Beispiel spanabhebend, oder per Laser oder dergleichen mindestens eine weitere Lage des Leiters bereitgestellt; schließlich wird durch eine Art "Stichloch-Sprühverfahren" die elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen den beiden Leiterlagen zur Verfügung gestellt.Then, at least one further layer of the conductor is provided by spraying and by mechanical processing, for example by machining, or by laser or the like; Finally, the electrically conductive connection between the two conductor layers is provided by a kind of "tap hole spraying".

Auf diese Weise wird die Herstellung beliebiger mehrlagiger Magnetspulen nach dem Cold-Spray-Verfahren ermöglicht, wobei die vorgenannten Verfahrensschritte mehrmals, insbesondere beliebig oft, wiederholt werden können, um mehr- oder viellagige Spulenkörper mit elektrischer Kontaktierung zwischen den einzelnen Leiterlagen zur Verfügung zu stellen.In this way, the production of any multi-layer magnetic coils is made possible by the cold spray method, wherein the aforementioned method steps several times, in particular as often as can be repeated to provide multi-or multi-layer bobbins with electrical contact between the individual conductor layers available.

In bevorzugter Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung wird zur Bildung der (Supra-)Leiterlagen, insbesondere der HTSL-Lagen, Niobtitan (NbTi) oder auch Niobtantal abwechselnd mit Kupfer als Werkstoff mit hohem Widerstand, insbesondere als Isolationslage oder als Isolationsschicht, gespritzt. Auf diese Weise wird eine kompakte sowie stabile supraleitende Spule bereitgestellt.In a preferred development of the present invention, niobium titanium (NbTi) or else niobium tantalum is sprayed alternately with copper as the material with a high resistance, in particular as an insulating layer or as an insulating layer, to form the (supra) conductor layers, in particular the HTSC layers. In this way, a compact and stable superconducting coil is provided.

Insbesondere bei Verwendung von Nanopartikeln oder Nanoteilchen als auf das Substrat bzw. Formteil aufzuwachsende Partikel oder Teilchen ist eine gute Durchmischung der in die gebildete Schicht eingebauten Partikel oder Teilchen innerhalb dieser Schicht gewährleistet; auf diese Weise sind sowohl die Leiterlage oder Leiterschicht als auch die Isolationslage oder Isolationsschicht jeweils besonders konsistent und stabil ausgebildet.In particular when using nanoparticles or nanoparticles as particles or particles to be grown on the substrate or molding, good mixing of the particles or particles incorporated into the layer formed is ensured within this layer; In this way, both the conductor layer or Conductor layer and the insulation layer or insulation layer each formed particularly consistent and stable.

Gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung weist das Substrat bzw. Formteil eine Gefügestruktur oder Gefügetextur auf, die zumindest in etwa der Gefügestruktur oder Gefügetextur eines Hochtemperatursupraleiters (HTSL) entspricht. Dies bedeutet mit anderen Worten, dass die Gefügestruktur oder Gefügetextur des Substrats bzw. Formteils auf die anhaftenden Partikel oder Teilchen übertragen werden kann.According to an expedient embodiment of the present invention, the substrate or molded part has a microstructure or microstructure which corresponds at least approximately to the microstructure or microstructural texture of a high-temperature superconductor (HTSC). In other words, this means that the microstructure or structural texture of the substrate or molded part can be transferred to the adhering particles or particles.

Die aus den sich im Kaltgasstrahl befindlichen Partikeln oder Teilchen gebildete Beschichtung oder Schicht weist damit eine Gefügestruktur oder Gefügetextur auf, die durch das Gefüge des Substrats bzw. Formteils, auf dem die Schicht aufwächst, bestimmt ist.The coating or layer formed from the particles or particles present in the cold gas jet thus has a microstructure or microstructure which is determined by the structure of the substrate or molded part on which the layer grows.

Bei fortschreitendem Schichtaufbau steht zwar das strukturierte bzw. texturierte Substrat zur Schichtbildung nicht mehr zur Verfügung, jedoch weisen die bereits aufgebrachten Partikel oder Teilchen die gewünschte Gefügestruktur oder Gefügetextur auf, so dass auch diese als Substrat für weitere auftreffende Teilchen dienen können, die ihrerseits die gewünschte Gefügestruktur oder Gefügetextur erhalten.Although the structured or textured substrate is no longer available for layer formation as the layer structure progresses, the already applied particles or particles have the desired microstructure or microstructure, so that they too can serve as a substrate for further impinging particles, which in turn provide the desired Microstructure or structural texture preserved.

Soweit die Gefügestruktur oder Gefügetextur des Substrats bzw. Formteils noch nicht vollständig auf die Beschichtung übertragen ist, kann diese Übertragung durch mindestens einen Diffusionsprozess abgeschlossen werden, der durch mindestens eine in zweckmäßiger Weise vorsehbare Wärmebehandlung des beschichteten Substrats bzw. Formteils in Gang gesetzt und/oder unterstützt werden kann.Insofar as the microstructure or structural texture of the substrate or molded part has not yet been completely transferred to the coating, this transfer can be completed by at least one diffusion process which is initiated by at least one advantageously preparable heat treatment of the coated substrate or molded part and / or can be supported.

Hierdurch lässt sich vorteilhafterweise die Qualität zum Beispiel der HTSL-Schicht verbessern, wozu vorrichtungsgemäß mindestens eine Heizeinrichtung zum Durchführen einer derartigen Wärmebehandlung nach Aufbringen der Partikel vorgesehen sein kann. Mithin können die supraleitenden Eigenschaften, insbesondere die hochtemperatursupraleitenden Eigenschaften, nach dem Aufspritzen durch eine gezielte Wärmebehandlung regeneriert werden.As a result, the quality of, for example, the HTSC layer can advantageously be improved, for which purpose at least one heating device for carrying out such a heat treatment after application of the particles can be provided according to the device. Consequently, the superconducting properties, in particular the high-temperature superconducting properties, can be regenerated after the spraying by a targeted heat treatment.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung kann dem Gasstrahl mindestens ein reaktives Gas, insbesondere Sauerstoff, zugesetzt werden, das in die, insbesondere weitere, Trägerlage und/oder in die, insbesondere weitere, Leiterlage eingebaut wird. Auf diese Weise kann die erzeugbare Lagen- oder Schichtvielfalt in zweckmäßiger Weise gesteigert werden, denn mit der Möglichkeit der Zuführung mindestens eines reaktiven Gases kommt ein weiterer optionaler Parameter zur Beeinflussung des ablaufenden Verfahrens hinzu.In an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, at least one reactive gas, in particular oxygen, can be added to the gas jet, which is incorporated into the, in particular further, carrier layer and / or into the, in particular further, conductor layer. In this way, the producible layer or layer variety can be increased in an appropriate manner, because with the possibility of supplying at least one reactive gas is another optional parameter for influencing the running process added.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft des Weiteren eine als kompakter Block oder als stabiles Gefüge ausgebildete mehrlagige Spule, hergestellt nach dem Verfahren gemäß der vorstehend dargelegten Art und/oder mit der Vorrichtung gemäß der vorstehend dargelegten Art.The present invention further relates to a multilayer coil formed as a compact block or as a stable structure, produced by the method according to the kind set forth above and / or with the device according to the kind set forth above.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft schließlich die Verwendung eines Verfahrens gemäß der vorstehend dargelegten Art und/oder mindestens einer Vorrichtung gemäß der vorstehend dargelegten Art zum Herstellen

  • von, insbesondere supraleitenden, Rotoren und/oder Statoren, insbesondere für Elektromotoren, oder
  • von leitenden, insbesondere supraleitenden, Spulen, insbesondere für M[agnetic]R[esonance]I[maging]-Geräte oder für N[uclear]M[agnetic]R[esonance]-Geräte.

Bester Weg zur Ausführung der vorliegenden ErfindungBest way to carry out the present invention

Eine zum Betrieb des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens geeignete, anhand Fig. 1 veranschaulichte Vorrichtung weist eine Vakuumkammer 4 auf, in der ein Substrat 5 vor der Düse einer Kaltgasspritzpistole 3 platziert werden kann (die Platzierung des Grundwerkstoffs oder Substrats 5 vor der Kaltgasspritzpistole 3 erfolgt mittels einer in Fig. 1 lediglich aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit der Darstellung nicht gezeigten Halterung).A suitable for operating the method according to the invention, based Fig. 1 illustrated device has a vacuum chamber 4, in which a substrate 5 can be placed in front of the nozzle of a cold gas spray gun 3 (the placement of the base material or substrate 5 before the cold gas spray gun 3 by means of a in Fig. 1 only for reasons of clarity of presentation not shown).

Zum Durchführen der Beschichtung des Werkstücks bzw. der Herstellung des Formteils 5 wird die Vakuumkammer 4 evakuiert und mittels der Kaltgasspritzpistole 3 ein Gasstrahl erzeugt, in den Partikel zur Beschichtung des Werkstücks bzw. zur Herstellung des Formteils 5 eingespeist werden.To carry out the coating of the workpiece or the production of the molded part 5, the vacuum chamber 4 is evacuated and generated by the cold gas spray gun 3, a gas jet, are fed into the particles for coating the workpiece or for the production of the molding 5.

Hierbei gelangt der Hauptgasstrom, beispielsweise eine Helium-Stickstoff-Mischung mit etwa vierzig Vol.-% Helium, über die Gaszuleitung 1 in die Vakuumkammer 4; die Spritzpartikel gelangen im Hilfsgasstrom über die Zuleitung 2 in die Vakuumkammer 4, in der ein Druck von etwa vierzig Millibar herrscht, und dort in die Kaltgasspritzpistole 3. Die Zuleitungen 1, 2 werden hierzu in die Vakuumkammer 4 hineingeführt, in der sich sowohl die Kaltgasspritzpistole 3 als auch das Formteil 5 befindet. Der gesamte Kaltgasspritzprozess findet somit in der Vakuumkammer 4 statt.In this case, the main gas stream, for example a helium-nitrogen mixture with about forty vol .-% of helium, passes via the gas supply line 1 into the vacuum chamber 4; the spray particles pass in the auxiliary gas flow via the supply line 2 in the vacuum chamber 4, in which a pressure of about forty millibars prevails, and there in the cold gas spray gun 3. The leads 1, 2 are for this purpose led into the vacuum chamber 4, in which both the cold gas spray gun 3 and the molding 5 is located. The entire cold gas spraying process thus takes place in the vacuum chamber 4.

Die Partikel werden durch den Kaltgasstrahl so stark beschleunigt, dass ein Anhaften der Partikel auf der Oberfläche des zu beschichtenden Substrats 5 durch Umwandlung der kinetischen Energie der Partikel erreicht wird. Die Partikel können zusätzlich erwärmt werden, wobei deren Erwärmung derart begrenzt wird, dass die Schmelztemperatur der Partikel nicht erreicht wird (dieser Umstand trägt namensgebend zum Begriff Kaltgasspritzen bei).The particles are accelerated so much by the cold gas jet that adhesion of the particles on the surface of the substrate 5 to be coated is achieved by converting the kinetic energy of the particles. The particles can be additionally heated, the heating of which is limited in such a way that the melting temperature of the particles is not reached (this circumstance contributes to the term cold gas spraying).

Das Trägergas, das beim Kaltgasspritzen zusammen mit den Spritzpartikeln aus der Spritzpistole 3 spritzt und die Spritzpartikel zum Werkstück 5 trägt, gelangt nach dem Spritzprozess in die Vakuumkammer 4. Das verbrauchte Trägergas wird über die Gasleitung 6 aus der Vakuumkammer 4 mittels der Vakuumpumpe 8 entfernt. Zwischen die Vakuumkammer 4 und die Vakuumpumpe 8 ist der Partikelfilter 7 geschaltet, der freie Spritzpartikel aus dem verbrauchten Trägergas entfernt, um in zuverlässiger Weise zu verhindern, dass die Festkörperteilchen die Pumpe 8 beschädigen.The carrier gas, which sprays together with the spray particles from the spray gun 3 during cold gas spraying and carries the spray particles to the workpiece 5, passes into the vacuum chamber 4 after the injection process. The used carrier gas is removed via the gas line 6 from the vacuum chamber 4 by means of the vacuum pump 8. Between the vacuum chamber 4 and the vacuum pump 8, the particulate filter 7 is switched, the free spray particles removed from the spent carrier gas to reliably prevent the solid particles damage the pump 8.

Durch das anhand Fig. 1 veranschaulichte Kaltgas-Sprühverfahren lässt sich eine breite Wahl von Werkstoffen, also elektrische Nichtleiter, elektrische Schwachleiter, elektrische Leiter und auch elektrische Supraleiter wie auch elektrische Hochtemperatirsupraleiter auf den Grundwerkstoff 5 auftragen. Durch die hohe Geschwindigkeit der gesprühten Partikel entstehen Schichten, die in ihren Eigenschaften denen von gegossenen oder gewalzten Werkstoffen gleich kommen.By the way Fig. 1 illustrated cold gas spraying can be a broad choice of materials, ie electrical non-conductors, electrical low-voltage conductors, electrical conductors and also electrical superconductors as well as electrical Hochtemperatirsupraleiter on the base material 5 apply. Due to the high speed of the sprayed particles, layers are formed whose properties are similar to those of cast or rolled materials.

Anstelle des Herstellens eines Drahts oder des Wickelns einer Spule kann gemäß Fig. 1 die gesamte Struktur einer Spule auf den Spulenträger 5 aufgespritzt werden, also eine Kupfermatrix, Supraleiterbahnen und Isolationswerkstoff. Durch entsprechende Form und Führen des Trägerwerkstoffs 5 können Spulen in beliebiger Form und völlig kompakt sowie stabil hergestellt werden, zum Beispiel in Form eines stabilen Blocks oder eines kompakten Klotzes.Instead of making a wire or winding a coil can according to Fig. 1 the entire structure of a coil are sprayed onto the bobbin 5, so a copper matrix, superconductor tracks and insulation material. By Corresponding shape and guiding of the carrier material 5 coils can be produced in any form and completely compact and stable, for example in the form of a stable block or a compact pad.

Als Isolationswerkstoff (mit relativ hohem Widerstand) kann in Fig. 1 Kupfer abwechselnd mit Niobtitan (NbTi) oder auch Niobtantal als supraleitendem Werkstoff unter Bildung einer supraleitenden Spule gespritzt werden.As insulating material (with relatively high resistance) can be used in Fig. 1 Copper can be sprayed alternately with niobium titanium (NbTi) or even niobium tantalum as a superconducting material to form a superconducting coil.

Die Qualität dieser supraleitenden Spule, insbesondere dieser hochtemperatursupraleitenden Spule, lässt sich mittels einer (in Fig. 1 lediglich aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit der Darstellung nicht gezeigten) Heizeinrichtung zum Durchführen einer Wärmebehandlung erhöhen. Mithin können die supraleitenden Eigenschaften, insbesondere die hochtemperatursupraleitenden Eigenschaften, nach dem Aufspritzen durch eine derartige gezielte Wärmebehandlung regeneriert werden.The quality of this superconducting coil, in particular this high-temperature superconducting coil, can be determined by means of a (in Fig. 1 merely for reasons of clarity of illustration not shown) increase heater for performing a heat treatment. Consequently, the superconducting properties, in particular the high-temperature superconducting properties, can be regenerated after the spraying by such a targeted heat treatment.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Anordnung kommt verfahrensgemäß insbesondere beim Herstellen von, zum Beispiel supraleitenden, Rotoren und Statoren von Elektromotoren sowie insbesondere beim Herstellen von, insbesondere rotationssymmetrischen, Spulen für M[agnetic]R[esonance]I[maging]-Geräte oder für N[uclear]M[agnetic]R[esonance]-Geräte zum Einsatz.In the Fig. 1 According to the method, in particular, in the manufacture of, for example, superconducting rotors and stators of electric motors, and in particular in the manufacture of, in particular rotationally symmetric, coils for M [agnetic] R [esonance] I [maging] devices or for N [uclear] M [agnetic] R [esonance] devices are used.

Die Abfolge der Verfahrensschritte gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird anhand Fig. 2A bis Fig. 2H erläutert:The sequence of method steps according to the present invention will be described Fig. 2A to Fig. 2H explains:

Um eine anhand Fig. 3 veranschaulichte mehr- oder viellagige Spule 100 herzustellen, werden zum Beschichten der Oberfläche eines als Basismaterial fungierenden magnetischen Substrats oder magnetischen Formteils 5 (vgl. Fig. 2A), das eine Gefügestruktur oder Gefügetextur aufweist, die in etwa der Gefügestruktur oder Gefügetextur eines Hochtemperatursupraleiters (HTSL) entspricht, mittels Kaltgasspritzens Trägerpartikel mit elektrisch schwach leitender oder elektrisch isolierender (= elektrisch nicht leitender) Eigenschaft in ungeschmolzenem Zustand aufgesprüht (vgl. Fig. 2B).To one based Fig. 3 For example, in order to manufacture multi-layer or multi-layer coil 100, for coating the surface of a magnetic substrate or magnetic molding 5 functioning as a base material (see FIG. Fig. 2A ), which has a microstructure or structural texture which corresponds approximately to the microstructure or structural texture of a high-temperature superconductor (HTSC), by means of cold gas spraying carrier particles with electrically weakly conductive or electrically insulating (= electrically non-conductive) property sprayed in unmelted state (see. Fig. 2B ).

Hierbei werden die Trägerpartikel aus Kupfer mittels des in der Kaltgasspritzpistole 3 erzeugten Gasstrahls aus der Düse 9 heraus zur Oberfläche des Substrats bzw. Formteils 5 hin beschleunigt, haften dort unter Umwandlung ihrer kinetischen Energie an und bilden so eine Trägerlage 15 in Form einer als Kupfermatrix.Here, the carrier particles made of copper by means of the gas jet generated in the cold gas spray gun 3 from the nozzle 9 out to the surface of the substrate or Accelerated toward molding 5, adhere there by converting their kinetic energy and thus form a carrier layer 15 in the form of a copper matrix.

Sodann werden zum Beschichten der Kupfermatrix 15 mittels Kaltgasspritzens Leiterpartikel mit elektrisch (hochtemperatur)supraleitender Eigenschaft in ungeschmolzenem Zustand aufgesprüht (vgl. Fig. 2C). Hierbei werden die Leiterpartikel aus Niobtitan (NbTi) oder aus Niobtantal mittels des in der Kaltgasspritzpistole 3 erzeugten Gasstrahls aus der Düse 9 heraus zur Kupfermatrix 15 hin beschleunigt, haften dort unter Umwandlung ihrer kinetischen Energie an und bilden so eine Leiterlage 25.Then, to coat the copper matrix 15 by means of cold gas spraying, conductive particles having an electrically (high-temperature) superconducting property are sprayed in unmelted state (cf. Fig. 2C ). In this case, the conductor particles of niobium titanium (NbTi) or of niobium tantalum are accelerated out of the nozzle 9 out of the nozzle 9 toward the copper matrix 15, adhere there with conversion of their kinetic energy and thus form a conductor layer 25.

Die Leiterlage 25 wird mittels mechanischer Bearbeitungsmittel 10, nämlich spanabhebend (vgl. Fig. 2D), oder per Laser in eine wendelförmige Leiterbahn 25' umgeformt. Dieser Verfahrensschritt bewirkt also eine, insbesondere mechanische, Trennung der supraleitenden Drähte oder Leiterbahn innerhalb der Leiterlage 25 durch dazwischen liegende Auskehlungen oder Nuten.The conductor layer 25 is by means of mechanical processing means 10, namely machined (see. Fig. 2D ), or by laser into a helical conductor 25 'transformed. This process step thus causes a, in particular mechanical, separation of the superconducting wires or interconnect within the conductor layer 25 by means of recesses or grooves located therebetween.

Die durch Laserbearbeitung oder Abgraten oder Abspanen bewirkte Leiterbahn 25' wird durch Kaltgasaufsprühen weiterer Trägerpartikel unter Ausbildung einer weiteren Trägerlage 15 eingebettet (vgl. Fig. 2E).The caused by laser processing or trimming or stockpiling strip 25 'is by cold gas spraying further carrier particles to form a further carrier layer 15 embedded (see. Fig. 2E ).

Zur Leiterbahn 25' wird eine elektrisch supraleitende Verbindung 20 bereitgestellt, indem nach Art eines Stichloch-Sprühverfahrens

  • zunächst durch diejenige Trägerlage 15, die an die elektrisch leitend zu verbindende Leiterlage 25 angrenzt, eine stichlochförmige oder zylinderförmige Ausnehmung 19 mechanisch bereitgestellt wird, zum Beispiel mittels eines Bohrers 11 eingebracht wird (vgl. Fig. 2F), und
  • sodann aus der Düse 9 Leiterpartikel in ungeschmolzenem Zustand in die Ausnehmung 19 gesprüht werden, so dass die Ausnehmung 19 mittels Kaltgasspritzens unter Bildung der Verbindung 20 mit elektrisch supraleitendem Material ausgefüllt wird (vgl. Fig. 2G).
To the conductor 25 ', an electrically superconducting compound 20 is provided by the manner of a taphole spraying method
  • initially by the carrier layer 15 which adjoins the electrically conductive conductor layer 25 to be connected, a pierced hole-shaped or cylindrical recess 19 is mechanically provided, for example by means of a drill 11 is introduced (see. Fig. 2F ), and
  • Then sprayed from the nozzle 9 conductor particles in the unmelted state in the recess 19, so that the recess 19 is filled by means of cold gas spraying to form the compound 20 with electrically superconducting material (see. Fig. 2G ).

Nach Bilden der elektrisch supraleitenden Verbindung 20 wird die weitere Trägerlage 15 mitsamt der Verbindung 20 mittels Kaltgasspritzens aus der Düse 9 mit Leiterpartikeln unter Ausbildung einer weiteren Leiterlage 25 beschichtet (vgl. Fig. 2H). Auch diese weitere Leiterlage 25 wird mittels mechanischer Bearbeitungsmittel 10, nämlich spanabhebend, oder per Laser in eine weitere wendelförmige Leiterbahn 25' umgeformt (vgl. Fig. 2D analog). Dieser Verfahrensschritt bewirkt also eine, insbesondere mechanische, Trennung der supraleitenden Drähte oder Leiterbahn innerhalb der weiteren Leiterlage 25 durch dazwischen liegende Auskehlungen oder Nuten, wobei diese weitere Leiterbahn 25' mit der angrenzenden oder benachbarten (, zum Beispiel in Bezug auf Fig. 3 darüber liegenden) Leiterbahn 25' durch die Verbindung 20 elektrisch supraleitend verbunden ist.After forming the electrically superconducting connection 20, the further carrier layer 15 together with the connection 20 is coated by means of cold gas spraying from the nozzle 9 with conductor particles to form a further conductor layer 25 (cf. Fig. 2H ). Also, this further conductor layer 25 is by means of mechanical processing means 10, namely machined, or by laser in a further helical conductor 25 'reshaped (see. Fig. 2D analogous). This method step thus causes a, in particular mechanical, separation of the superconducting wires or interconnect within the further conductor layer 25 by means of recesses or grooves lying therebetween, this further interconnect 25 'being connected to the adjoining or adjacent (for example with respect to FIGS Fig. 3 overlying) conductor 25 'is electrically superconducting connected by the connection 20.

Die anhand Fig. 2D, Fig. 2E, Fig. 2F, Fig. 2G, Fig. 2H veranschaulichte Abfolge von Verfahrensschritten zum Bereitstellen weiterer Leiterlagen 25 wird sechsmal wiederholt; hierbei werden die weiteren Leiterlagen 25 jeweils in weitere Leiterbahnen 25' umgeformt, wobei die elektrisch supraleitenden Verbindungen 20 abwechselnd an den entgegengesetzten lateralen Rändern der weiteren Leiterbahnen 25' generiert werden, um auf diese Weise eine durchgängige elektrische Verbindung zwischen der innersten Leiterbahn 25' und der äußersten Leiterbahn 25' zu bereitzustellen.The basis Fig. 2D . Fig. 2E, Fig. 2F, Fig. 2G, Fig. 2H illustrated sequence of method steps for providing further conductor layers 25 is repeated six times; In this case, the further conductor layers 25 are in each case converted into further strip conductors 25 ', the electrically superconducting connections 20 being alternately generated at the opposite lateral edges of the further strip conductors 25' in order in this way to provide a continuous electrical connection between the innermost strip conductor 25 'and the outermost trace 25 'to provide.

Am Ende des Herstellungsprozesses steht eine als kompakter Block oder als stabiles Gefüge ausgebildete rotationssymmetrische siebenlagige Spule 100 (vgl. Fig. 3), die

  • als supraleitender Rotor und/oder Stator für einen Elektromotor oder
  • als supraleitende Spule für ein M[agnetic]R[esonance]I[maging]-Gerät oder für ein N[uclear]M[agnetic]R[esonance]-Gerät
eingesetzt werden kann.At the end of the manufacturing process, a rotationally symmetrical seven-layer coil 100 designed as a compact block or as a stable structure (cf. Fig. 3 ), the
  • as superconducting rotor and / or stator for an electric motor or
  • as a superconducting coil for a M [agnetic] R [esonance] I [maging] device or for a N [uclear] M [agnetic] R [esonance] device
