Overview
• Cold mass design description• Structural design criteria,
metallic components– Stress summary– CICC quality controls
• Structural design criteria, insulation components– Major electrical quality control
measurements• Manufacturing procedures• Risk assessment & CreADo

Cold Mass Design
• Cold Mass: Winding pack and components associated with the coil at 4 K• Major components
– CICC Coil– Insulation – Magnet frame – Lead anchor and splice ties– Lead supports– Terminal and splice joints– Plumbing circuit– Voltage isolators

Structural Design Criteria, Metallic Components
• The structural design criteria is adopted from the Fusion Ignition Research Experiment (FIRE)• Static
– The design limits are a function of the material’s yield or ultimate strength, Sm
• Sm = the lesser of 2/3 sy or (1/3 su, welded, 1/2 su, non-welded)
– Usage factor • For normal conditions (full field, power supply trips), k = 1.0• For anticipated conditions (quench), k = 1.1• For unlikely conditions (insert shorts), k = 1.2• For extremely unlikely conditions, k = 1.35
• Fatigue– The stress condition is compared to SN curves
• A safety factor of 2 on stress and 20 on lifetime is applied– FCGR is used to determine the minimum detectable flaw size

Fatigue Stress Summary
• Using Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics an allowable flaw size is set based on the lifetime of the component
• From the Paris Law, a majority of the crack propagation behaves in a linear manner on a log-log plot and can be described as
da/dn = CKm
• With an initial flaw size of a, it will take n cycles to propagate a crack through the conduit wall
• An important requirement dictated by the FIRE Code is that one must detect a flaw size half of the initial (or allowable) flaw size. This detectable flaw size is the minimum requirement for the x-ray inspection that will be performed.
• For the SCH the allowable flaw size is a = 0.206 mm. This results in a minimum detectable flaw size of 0.10 mm.

CICC Quality Controls - Conduit
• Fabricated by Salzgitter-Mannesmann Stainless Tubes (SMST)• Quality Control Parameters
– Tube Length– Dimensions– Chemistry– Mechanical Properties– Porosity and Inclusions– Grain Size– Precipitate Carbides– Surface Finish
• The vendor and NHMFL conducted the quality control measurements
• NHMFL contracted out three independent companies for verification measurements of the chemistry

CICC Quality Controls - Jacketing
• Jacketing performed at Criotec Impianti, Italy• For each tube size, an optimal weld schedule was developed with the objective of
high ductility and fatigue strength at low temperature and after aging in a similar style as the superconductor heat treatment.
• Weld qualification tests consisted of physical property measurements at 4.2 K of aged samples measuring ultimate and yield strengths, fatigue life
• Three inspections were performed after welding of each conduit1. A plug with a diameter 0.2 mm less than the average tube inner diameter was
passed across the weld region to check for potential obstructions with the cable during insertion.
2. A visual inspection outside and inside using a high resolution borescope were made.
3. Digital x-ray images were taken for detection of small internal and surface flaws (0.08 mm resolution).
• All welding/inspection was monitored by FSU or HZB personnel • A weld rejection level of 14% was obtained• A helium leak check on the fabricated CICC was performed on each piece-length

Structural Design Criteria, Insulating Components• Compressive stress < 2/3 ultimate strength at temperature• At the interface of the conduit and insulation
– no primary tensile strain is allowed– secondary strain < 1/5 of the ultimate tensile strain
• In-plane tensile strain < ±0.5%• The shear / compressive stress at the interface between the conduit and insulation
< 2/3 of the shear/compression limit curve• Evaluation is performed on the insulation for each conductor turn
