Problems solved by technology

But such temperature has caused its longer heat treatment cycle, about 15 hours per furnace, the total time of multiple annealings is very long, and it cannot meet industrial production, and the most serious is excessively high temperature and longer heating and heating. Cooling time leads to premature Nb formation on the surface of Nb alloy 3 The Sn layer reduces the strength of the wire during cold working, which affects the plastic molding of the wire and the final core wire forming. The molding of the core wire directly affects the current-carrying capacity of the finished wire. The current 520°C heat treatment process, the critical current I c lower than 100A

Abstract

The invention discloses a process for preparing a bronze Nb3Sn superconducting wire material. The process comprises the following steps of: drilling a hole on a high tin bronze ingot, assembling the drilled ingot with a niobium alloy rod, soldering and sealing under vacuum, and performing hot extrusion to obtain a rod blank a which serves as a tensile blank; filling the tensile blank in an annealing furnace to perform first annealing; charging a furnace chamber of the annealing furnace with high-purity argon or nitrogen; heating the furnace chamber to the temperature of between 420 and 480 DEG C at the rate of 4 to 8 DEG C / minute; preserving the heat for 30 to 90 minutes; performing forced cooling by circulating the argon or the nitrogen; discharging when the material is cooled to the temperature of between 50 and 100 DEG C; repeatedly processing the material; performing a subcomponent molding process to obtain a hexagonal subcomponent; assembling, soldering and sealing under vacuum and performing the hot extrusion to obtain a rod blank b; and performing second annealing, twisting, performing final stretching and electroplating to obtain the Nb3Sn superconducting wire material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of superconducting material processing, and relates to a bronze method Nb 3 Preparation process of Sn superconducting wire. Background technique [0002] Bronze method Nb 3 Sn low-temperature superconducting wire is a practical wire for manufacturing low-temperature magnets above 10T. It is made of bronze, oxygen-free copper, Nb alloy and barrier layer materials. Bronze process Nb for production of high critical current 3 Sn superconducting strands need to use high-tin bronze to provide sufficient tin to facilitate subsequent Nb 3 Generation of Sn. However, high-tin bronze will produce extremely rapid work hardening during cold working, making subsequent processing impossible. Therefore, an effective intermediate annealing process is needed to improve the subsequent processing plasticity of high-tin bronze. [0003] Existing bronze method Nb 3 The intermediate annealing of Sn usually refers to the anne...
