Abstract

The powder-in-tube approach was successfully used to fabricate silver clad Bi-2223 in >100 m lengths of mono and >800 m lengths of multifilament tape. The tapes were wound into pancake and layer coils using the ´wind and react´ as well as the ´react and wind´ technique. The coils and magnets were characterized in the Hybrid III magnet and in a cryocooler at the FBNML, MIT. A ´wind and react´ magnet generated a maximum self field of 2.6 T, at liquid helium (4.2 K), liquid neon (27 K) and liquid nitrogen (77 K) temperatures, respectively. A magnet generated over 1.0 T with a background field of 20 T at 4.2 K. A smaller magnet cooled to 20 K with a two-stage cryocooler has demonstrated 0.8 T in a 40 mm room temperature bore.<>
