By the way, in superconducting coils for high magnetic fields, the superconductivity above 21 ri is divided into 4 total sieve magnets, easy 11 j, and a gradient configuration in which the low magnetic field side is rearranged. The reason for this is that the superconducting conductors used in the high magnetic field 41111 are at market prices, and the main objective is to reduce the amount used as much as possible.For this purpose, it is necessary to connect all different types of superconducting conductors. occurs, and per this connected VC,

A hoop force is generated by the tn fIi force, and the conductor must bear that force, but in the connection shown in Figure 4, a moment is generated due to the difference in the point of application of the force, and bending stress and solder There is a danger that the IL force of the part will become large and it will cut kJ against the powerful force. In addition, in a superconducting coil, this connection part is placed at the winding part, so in the next turn of the connection part, a spacer etc. is required to fit the winding roundly, making winding very troublesome. It had become.

In this case, the reliability of strength is 177 as shown in Figure 84.
However, the stabilizing material 4 is softened by the +'lt + vice during silver soldering 1-1, so the method of cold working in advance, which is done to increase the strength, is It can no longer be used for historical purposes. In particular, the extraneous super' + [conducting wires 7 and 8 continue. In this case, since the rigidity, elongation O・, and thermal contraction rate of these two superelectric 4IVi17.8 are different, in the following part to be wrapped, if the external stabilizing material 4 is weak, the more rigid superelectric 4 High stress is generated in the superconducting wire, leading to deterioration of superconductivity and damage to the superconducting wire, which is not desirable.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the present invention. As in the case of the internuclear space, in this embodiment, before embedding the different types of superconducting wires 7 and 8 with the same cross section in the unconnected stabilizing material 4 made of copper, the connecting and matching process is performed, and then the stabilizing material 4 is bonded. The stabilizing material 4, which covers the vicinity of the ℃ part of the different types of superconducting wires 7 and 8 embedded therein, is continuously formed 41q without any connection. Except for that, 4 superelectric wires 7.
Since 8 is embedded in the stabilizing material 4 with solder, the connecting portions of the different types of superconducting wires 7 and 8 are also filled with solder and are completely electrically connected.

If such a superconducting conductor of this embodiment is used, cold-worked copper can be used as a stabilizing material, so that it can be used for example with a low yield strength of 30 to 40 particles/square. For this reason, the deviation of the force due to the difference in rigidity, elongation, and heat dissipation rate of the connecting portions of the superconducting wires 7 and 8 can be avoided by stabilizing the heel 41' 4, which is constructed continuously without any connections around the superconducting wires 7 and 8. This prevents deterioration of the strength of the extremely small connecting portions, and prevents deterioration of the superconducting properties and damage to the superconducting wires in the connection between the superconducting wires 7 and 8 of the different parts 111. Furthermore, the winding work is extremely easy since the external dimensions are the same as those of an unconnected long conductor, and there is no need to use an extra spacer as in the conventional example shown in FIG. The ease of winding this wire is
In addition to simply meaning the time, it also completely prevents the 9th turn that occurs at the connection part.

Next, as in Rikiya's example, we will explain the stability of the super'1α conductor with the same cross section. In general, isolateral heat flux is Figure 7? As shown, the heat flux q is defined as such that the surface A surrounded by the boiling curve 10 and the exothermic curve 11 has a heat flux q. Because it changes depending on the temperature TR,
Even if the heat flux curves 10 are the same, the isolateral heat flux will take a high value in the ultra-'i'ti', j' glands with high ascending I crystallinity l1lc. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the isolateral heat flux 13 on the high (i) field side has a higher value than the isolateral heat flux 14 on the low magnetic field side, and now 21!
If the cross section is the same as 6121, the cooling will be
[,\'i, since the stability is proportional to the ratio of the isolateral heat flux q6 and the magnetic resistance ρ of the stabilizing material, this ratio is assumed to be constant.''2
Una magnetic field 13+, 13. By selecting , the most efficient arrangement of different Jh superelectric L'$ &'A is achieved.

lAl-, different 4 (+) It is better to have the same cross-section of the super-ton conductor, but if you try, the value will be low. On the station side, there are too many shoulder and d4 boats. The lifting platform is shown in Figure 439. As shown in FIG. The end portion 7 is formed in a step-like shape, and different types of super iIL lines 7 and 8 are connected through this step-like shoulder portion, and a continuous stabilizing material 4 is provided around the end portion 9 without any connection. By doing this, exactly the same effect as described above can be achieved, and the amount of H5-valent superconducting wire for high magnetic fields can be reduced further. Although we have shown the implementation example where the material is 4-strength and M-side, if there is no connection after cold opening, the cross-section may be examined once, and this also allows the implementation described in the previous section. The same effect as in the example can be obtained.
