Claims
- 1. A superconductive coil comprising:
coils of superconductive composite wire; and a cladding surrounding said wire wherein said cladding is made of high-strength reinforcing material.
- 2. A superconductive coil, comprising:
a composite superconductive wire; and a cladding surrounding said wire without voids, said cladding made of a high-strength material.
- 3. The structure of claim 2 wherein said composite wire is selected from the group of NbTi-copper, Nb3Sn-copper, niobium-bronze-copper and any A15 superconductor filaments-copper and said reinforcing material is selected from the group of steel alloy, nickel alloy, superalloy and stainless steel alloy.
- 4. The structure of claim 2 wherein said composite wire is selected from the group of NbTi-copper, Nb3Sn-copper, niobium-bronze-copper and any A15 superconductor filaments-copper and said reinforcing material is selected from the group of molybdenum and its alloys, and refractory metals and alloys.
- 5. The structure of claim 3 wherein said superconductive wire has a circular cross-section.
- 6. The structure of claim 4 wherein said superconductive wire has a circular cross section.
- 7. The structure of claim 3 wherein said superconductive wire has a rectangular cross-section.
- 8. The structure of claim 4 wherein said superconductive wire has a rectangular cross-section.
- 9. A method of manufacture of a superconducting coil, comprising the steps of:
providing a superconducting composite wire; and surrounding said wire without forming voids with a cladding of high-strength material.
- 10. The method of claim 9 further including the steps of:
forming said composite wire of material selected from the group of NbTi-copper, Nb3Sn-copper and any A15 superconductor filaments-copper; and forming said cladding of a material selected from the group of steel alloy, nickel alloy, superalloy and stainless steel alloy.
- 11. The method of claim 9 further including the steps of:
forming said composite wire of material selected from the group of NbTi-copper, Nb3 Sn-copper and any A15 superconductor filaments-copper; and forming said cladding of a material selected from from the group of molybdenum and its alloys, and refractory metals and alloys.
- 12. The method of claim 10 further including the step of forming said wire into a shape having a circular cross-section.
- 13. The method of claim 11 further including the step of forming said wire into a shape having a circular cross-section.
- 14. The method of claim 10 further including the step of forming said wire into a shape having a rectangular cross-section.
- 15. The method of claim 11 further including the step of forming said wire into a shape having a rectangular cross-section.
