Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of superconducting wire preparation. Background Art

[0002] Superconducting switch wires are an indispensable and important component of manufacturing large scientific devices such as superconducting magnets. At present, the switch wires used in various scientific projects in the world are mainly copper-nickel-based NbTi superconducting wires, which mainly face the problem of low critical current values ​​under high background magnetic field conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to design, develop and mass-produce superconducting switch wires with higher performance. The common copper-nickel-based NbTi superconducting switch wires have low critical current values ​​under high background magnetic field conditions (the upper critical magnetic field is only 11.5T), while the critical current value of Nb3Sn wires (the upper critical magnetic field is above 25T) under high background magnetic field conditions is higher than that of NbTi superconducting wires. In addition, another important performance requirement of superconducting switch wires is that the residual resistance ratio of the wire is 1~10. The residual resistance ratio of copper-nickel-based NbTi superconducting switch wires is mainly determined by their copper-nickel matrix.

[0003] For the internal tin method Nb3Sn wire, how to significantly improve the low-temperature resistance of the wire matrix, achieve a significant reduction in the residual resistance ratio, and meet the performance indicators of the switch line. Obtaining a superconducting switch line with a high critical current value, a low residual resistance ratio, and not prone to brittle fracture is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above technical problems and provide a high-performance superconducting switch wire and a preparation method thereof, and the comprehensive performance of the prepared switch wire is greatly improved.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions: A method for preparing a high-performance superconducting switch line, S1, vertically placing a plurality of Nb rods on a circular base. Using 3D printing technology, printing oxygen-free copper into a cylinder with the same specifications as the circular base, and filling the gaps between adjacent Nb rods to make a CuNb composite ingot, adding oxygen-free copper caps at both ends of the composite ingot and performing electron beam sealing welding to obtain a CuNb composite sheath; S2, heating, heat-insulating, and extruding the CuNb composite sheath obtained in step S1 to obtain a CuNb composite rod, and drilling holes in batches at the center of the CuNb composite rod to obtain a CuNb composite tube; S3, cold-extrude the SnTi alloy ingot into a SnTi alloy tube, insert a Ta rod of matching size into the SnTi alloy tube to obtain a SnTi / Ta composite rod, and then insert the obtained SnTi / Ta composite rod into the CuNb composite tube obtained in step S2 to obtain an enhanced internal tin method Nb3Sn superconducting wire subcomponent, draw the obtained internal tin method Nb3Sn superconducting wire subcomponent, and cut the drawn internal tin method Nb3Sn superconducting wire subcomponent into multiple equal lengths and evenly arrange them; S4. Load the plurality of inner tin method Nb3Sn superconducting wire subcomponents obtained in step S3 into an oxygen-free copper tube to obtain a final billet, and draw and twist the final billet to finally obtain a high-performance superconducting switch wire. S5. Samples are taken from the high-performance superconducting switch wire obtained in step S4, and heat treated. After being taken out of the furnace, the critical current value and the residual resistance ratio are tested.

[0006] Furthermore, in step S1, the number of Nb rods is 100-150, the specification of the Nb rods is φ9mm-φ12mm, and the specification of the printed CuNb composite ingot is φ280mm-φ300mm.

[0007] Furthermore, in step S2, the extrusion temperature is 700° C. to 900° C., and the insulation time is 60 min to 90 min.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the CuNb composite rod obtained in step S2 is φ52 mm to φ75 mm, and the drill hole diameter is φ30 mm to φ35 mm, and the drill hole diameter is 1.0 mm larger than that of the SnTi / Ta composite rod.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S3, the SnTi ingot is cold extruded into a SnTi alloy tube with an outer diameter of φ29mm~φ34mm and an inner hole diameter of φ10mm~φ15mm. The outer diameter of the Ta rod used is φ9.5mm~φ14.5mm. The Ta rod is inserted into the SnTi alloy tube to obtain a SnTi / Ta composite rod. The SnTi / Ta alloy rod is inserted into the CuNb composite tube obtained in step S2 to obtain an enhanced internal tin method Nb3Sn superconducting wire subcomponent, and the enhanced internal tin method Nb3Sn superconducting wire subcomponent is drawn, and the inner tin method Nb3Sn superconducting wire subcomponent obtained after drawing has a side size of 5mm~15mm.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S4, the outer diameter of the oxygen-free copper tube is φ60 mm to φ75 mm, and the inner diameter of the oxygen-free copper tube is φ45 mm to φ60 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S4, the final billet is drawn, and then twisted and finally stretched to obtain the Nb3Sn superconducting wire, wherein the twisting pitch is 15mm~40mm.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S5, the wire sample is heat treated by a standard internal tin method Nb3Sn heat treatment process, and the critical current value and residual resistance ratio of the sample are tested after it is taken out of the furnace.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention discloses a high-performance superconducting switch wire and a preparation method thereof. An enhanced internal tin method Nb3Sn superconducting switch wire with comprehensive performance improved over that of NbTi superconducting switch wire is prepared based on the internal tin method Nb3Sn preparation process. The traditional Ta barrier layer is removed so that the Sn element diffuses into the oxygen-free copper matrix during the heat treatment process, which significantly improves the low-temperature resistance of the wire matrix and meets the requirements of the superconducting switch for high resistance characteristics. Ta rod reinforcement is introduced into the core of the subcomponent to effectively improve the brittleness problem of the Nb3Sn wire after heat treatment. The process system successfully solves the contradiction between high resistance and high current carrying capacity of superconducting switch wires through the collaborative innovation of materials, structures and processes, and has important application value in the fields of cutting-edge equipment such as nuclear magnetic resonance and particle accelerators.
