Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of superconducting wire detection, in particular to a method for detecting the broken core position and broken core rate of superconducting wire. BACKGROUND

[0002] Superconducting wire is widely used in high-energy physics, medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), power transmission and other fields, especially in high magnetic field and low temperature environment. Superconducting wire is usually composed of a porous non-superconducting base wire and several superconducting filaments. These filaments may be broken due to various factors such as material defects and improper processing during production. Broken core not only affects superconducting performance, but also may reduce the current carrying capacity of superconducting wire, thereby affecting its application performance. Therefore, accurately detecting the broken core position and broken core rate of superconducting wire is crucial to ensure product quality and safety.

[0003] The existing method for detecting the broken core of superconducting wire is mainly corrosion method, which corrodes the suspected broken core area of superconducting composite wire to observe the actual broken core condition of the area.

[0004] However, the corrosion method has a large degree of damage to superconducting composite wire, cannot achieve 100% detection, and has poor detection comprehensiveness. At the same time, the corrosion method has high operation complexity and low detection efficiency. In addition, the corrosion method cannot accurately locate the broken core position, and has poor detection accuracy. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a method for detecting the broken core position and broken core rate of superconducting wire to solve the problems of poor detection comprehensiveness, low detection efficiency and poor detection accuracy of the existing superconducting wire broken core detection technology.

[0006] In one aspect, the present application provides a method for detecting the broken core position and broken core rate of superconducting wire, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step one, stretching the superconducting composite wire without a mold.

[0008] Step two, stretching the superconducting composite wire after mold stretching.

[0009] Step three, online size monitoring and online resistance testing of the superconducting composite wire after mold stretching.

[0010] Step four, obtaining the broken core position according to the online size monitoring result and obtaining the broken core rate according to the online resistance testing result.

[0011] In one possible implementation, in step one, the processing amount of the mold-free stretching is 5%-40%.

[0012] In a possible implementation, in step one, the heating temperature of the free-stretching is 300-600℃, the cooling method is water cooling, and the stretching speed is 5-30m / min.

[0013] In a possible implementation, in step two, the single-pass processing rate of the fixed-stretching is 30%.

[0014] In a possible implementation, in step two, the deviation of the theoretical diameter fluctuation of the superconducting composite wire after the fixed-stretching is within ±0.001mm.

[0015] In a possible implementation, in step three, the monitoring area of the online size is 1mm along the axial direction of the wire, and the monitoring area of the online resistance test is 10mm along the axial direction of the wire.

[0016] In a possible implementation, in step four, the core-breaking position according to the online size monitoring result comprises:

[0017] The position with necking phenomenon in the online size monitoring result is taken as the core-breaking position.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the superconducting composite wire comprises a porous non-superconducting base wire and a plurality of superconducting filaments.

[0019] In step four, the core-breaking rate according to the online resistance test result comprises:

[0020] The core-breaking rate is obtained according to the resistance of the area where the core-breaking position is located and the resistance of the non-core-breaking area by using the difference in resistivity between the porous non-superconducting base wire and the superconducting filaments.

[0021] The method for detecting the core-breaking position and the core-breaking rate of the superconducting wire has the following advantages:

[0022] By combining the free-stretching, the fixed-stretching, the online size monitoring and the online resistance test, the core-breaking position and the core-breaking rate are obtained, and the detection comprehensiveness, the detection efficiency and the detection accuracy of the core-breaking position and the core-breaking rate of the superconducting wire are improved.

[0023] By free-stretching the superconducting composite wire, the defects of the superconducting wire itself can be enlarged, and the detection of the core-breaking is facilitated.

[0024] By fixed-stretching the superconducting composite wire after the free-stretching, the core-breaking problem can be effectively exposed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
