Abstract
A method of manufacturing a solenoidal magnet structure, includes the step of providing a collapsible accurate mold in which to wind the coils winding wire into defined positions in the mold, placing a mechanical support structure over the coils so wound, impregnating the coils and the mechanical support structure with a thermosetting resin, allowing the thermosetting resin to harden, and collapsing the mold and removing the resultant solenoidal magnet structure formed by the resin impregnated coils and the mechanical support structure from the mold as a single solid piece.
Claims11
A solenoidal superconducting magnet structure comprising:
- a superconducting wire wound into coils having an outermost exterior;
- a mechanical support structure comprising a reinforced resin tube located over said outermost exterior of said coils, said coils and said mechanical support structure forming an assembly;
- and
- thermosetting resin in which an entirety of said assembly is monolithically embedded and forming, when said thermosetting resin sets a single solid article.
A solenoidal superconducting magnet structure comprising:
- a mechanical support structure comprising a reinforced resin tube;
- at least one superconducting wire wound into a coil of said solenoidal superconducting magnet structure over said mechanical support structure, said mechanical support structure and said at least one coil forming an assembly;
- and
- thermosetting resin in which an entirety of said assembly is monolithically embedded and forming, when said thermosetting resin sets a single solid article.
