Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of superconducting material processing technology, and relates to a method for preparing Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire by reacting first and then winding. Background Technology
[0002] Bi-2212, a copper oxide high-temperature superconducting material, has a superconducting transition temperature of approximately 95K, higher than that of liquid nitrogen (77K). Its core advantage lies in its similarity to traditional low-temperature superconducting materials; it can be processed into flexible, isotropic circular wires and further stranded to achieve extremely high current-carrying capacity. Simultaneously, Bi-2212 maintains excellent high-field current-carrying characteristics and low AC losses even in extremely strong magnetic fields above 25K, making it suitable for applications in extremely high magnetic fields, such as high-field magnet devices, superconducting cables, and special high-field magnets for scientific research.
[0003] However, Bi-2212 wire exhibits significantly increased brittleness after reaction heat treatment, with extremely low yield strength and tensile strength. This makes it prone to superconducting phase breakage during winding, stretching, or torsion, leading to a decrease in current-carrying capacity. Therefore, traditional processes commonly employ a "winding first, then reaction" method to avoid mechanical damage to the superconducting phase during winding. However, with increasing application requirements, the limitations of this process have become increasingly apparent. Defect detection is difficult after the overall reaction heat treatment, resulting in a high risk of scrapping the finished magnet; it prevents the use of polymer insulating materials, complicating the process; and it requires complex processing of the complete magnet using large-scale heat treatment equipment, significantly increasing process difficulty and cost. In contrast, the "reaction first, then winding" process, because it avoids these problems, has become an important direction for current superconducting wire research and development.
[0004] Drawing inspiration from the nested design concept of wire-in-channel NbTi structured wires (WIC structured wires), a copper layer can be coated onto the outside of Bi-2212 superconducting round wires to create flat wires. By controlling the bending and twisting during the winding process, damage to the brittle Bi-2212 superconducting phase can be avoided, thus achieving "reaction before winding." Traditional WIC structured wires use a nested structure formed by embedding copper channel wires and Bi-2212 superconducting round wires. To ensure that long wires of tens of thousands of meters can be wound onto a single reel, the copper channel wires need to have sufficient mechanical strength, resulting in a typically large wall thickness. Even after thinning using a U-shaped die, the thickness remains high, leading to a high volumetric proportion of copper in the superconducting composite wire, which in turn reduces the overall current carrying capacity and increases manufacturing costs (traditional WIC method). Furthermore, the expensive silver matrix material used in the Bi-2212 superconducting round wires is also a significant reason for the high cost of the final wire. The welding between copper channel wire and Bi-2212 silver substrate is difficult and has many defects. Traditional methods rely on cold working combined with subsequent thermal diffusion process to solve the problem, but there are problems such as long preparation cycle and insufficient strength of the resulting wire substrate.

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods and detection methods described in each embodiment are conventional methods; unless otherwise specified, the reagents and materials can be purchased commercially.
[0023] In the following embodiments, the thickness of the silver (Ag) matrix layer of the Ag-based Bi-2212 superconducting round wire can be adjusted according to actual process requirements and performance requirements, and is not limited to a specific value. Under the conditions of the aforementioned processing technology, the overall mechanical strength of the Ag-based Bi-2212 superconducting round wire can be improved by appropriately increasing the thickness of the silver matrix layer.
[0024] The calculations of the relevant machining parameters involved in the following embodiments are as follows: (1) Calculations related to thin-walled copper channel wire: Based on the diameter (D) of the Bi-2212 superconducting circular wire after partial Ag matrix recovery via electrolytic online processing, the basic structural parameters of the thin-walled copper trench wire can be determined, as shown below: The inner diameter d0 of the thin-walled copper groove wire is = k ·D, k The value is between 1.03 and 1.08. The thickness δ1 of the tin plating layer is 5~10μm; After the irregular soft copper flat strip is tin-plated, bent and shaped to form the thin-walled copper groove line, the wall thickness (δ2) of the thin-walled copper groove line is controlled at 0.1~0.2mm; The opening radius and width of the thin-walled copper channel are calculated as follows:
[0025]
[0026] In the above formula, α represents the opening arc of the thin-walled copper channel (unit: rad), W1 represents the opening width of the thin-walled copper channel, and the meaning and calculation method of r1 and d1 are given in (2) related calculation of irregular soft copper flat strip.
[0027] (2) Calculations related to irregularly shaped soft copper strips: The cross-section of the irregular soft copper strip used to prepare the thin-walled copper channel line includes a 90° convex arc segment 4 and a concave arc segment 4 that smoothly transitions to the convex arc segment 5. The thinnest part 3 is the shortest distance (t1) from the apex of the concave arc segment 5 to the first surface 1, which is 0.15~0.25mm. Its cross-sectional geometric parameters are calculated as follows: The formula for calculating the radius value r1 of the convex arc segment 4 (i.e., the R-angle radius value of the thin-walled copper channel line) is as follows:
[0028] In the above formula, d1 = d0 + 2δ1 (the inner diameter of the thin-walled copper groove without tin plating). The remaining cross-sectional parameters of the irregular soft copper strip can be calculated based on the radius r1 of the convex arc segment, the inner diameter d1 of the plating groove, and the thickness t1 at the thinnest point, using the geometric relationship of the irregular transition segment.
[0029] (3) Calculations related to the circular wire bonding mold:
[0030]
[0031] In the above formula, W3 is the width of the circular wire mold, H3 is the height of the circular wire mold, and W2=H2=d1+2δ2 (W2 is the width of the thin-walled copper channel line, and H2 is the height of the thin-walled copper channel line).
[0032] In the following embodiments, the distance between the electrolytic cell outlet and the solder bath inlet is ≤2m.
[0033] Example 1 This embodiment provides a method for preparing Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire.
[0034] like Figure 5As shown, the method for preparing Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire in this embodiment includes: S1. According to the Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire processing technology described in this embodiment, the processing parts are selected as oxygen-free copper rods with a diameter of 1.0 mm and Ag-based Bi-2212 superconducting round wires with a diameter of 0.82 mm after reaction heat treatment.
[0035] S2. After straightening the oxygen-free copper rod, it is flattened into a copper flat strip with a width of 2.39 mm and a thickness of 0.26 mm. The copper flat strip is then rolled in three passes to produce a shaped copper flat strip with a length of 2.39 mm, a minimum thickness of 0.15 mm, a concave radius of 0.24 mm, an angle of 70.2°, a convex radius of 0.275 mm, and an angle of 90°. The shaped copper flat strip is then annealed, cooled, cleaned, and subjected to anti-oxidation treatment to obtain a shaped soft copper flat strip. (Example:) Figure 1 As shown, the irregularly shaped flexible copper strip has a first surface 1 and a second surface 2. The first surface 1 is a plane; the second surface 2 has alternating convex arc segments 4 and concave arc segments 5 along a predetermined extension direction. The convex arc segment 4 is an arc-shaped structure that protrudes away from the first surface 1, and the concave arc segment 5 is an arc-shaped structure that is recessed towards the first surface 1, with a smooth transition between the convex arc segment 4 and the concave arc segment 5. The thinnest point is located in the concave arc segment 5, which is the shortest distance from the apex of the concave arc segment 5 to the first surface 1.
[0036] S3. After removing the oxide from the surface of the irregularly shaped soft copper strip, tin plating is performed on the first surface of the irregularly shaped soft copper strip, and the thickness of the tin plating layer is 5μm. Figure 2 The tin-based solder used for tin plating is Sn2.5Cu, the soldering temperature is 300℃, and the soldering speed is 120m / min.
[0037] S4. After bending and shaping the irregularly shaped soft copper strip containing a tin plating layer, a thin-walled copper groove line with an outer square and inner circle shape is formed, with a width of 1.05mm, a height of 1.05mm, an inner diameter of 0.84mm, a radius of 0.27mm, an upper opening angle of 1.34rad, an opening width of 0.53mm, and a wall thickness of 0.1mm. Figure 3 It consists of a tin-plated layer 6 and an irregularly shaped soft copper flat strip 7. The thin-walled copper channel wire is treated with a flux to remove oxides. A water-based, no-clean flux is added to the flux.
[0038] S6. Electrolytic treatment of Ag-based Bi-2212 superconducting round wires in an electrolytic cell (10m long) is performed to dissolve and recover Ag from the surface of the Ag-based Bi-2212 superconducting round wires. Figure 4The process yielded a 0.8 mm Bi-2212 superconducting round wire. The electrolytic cell contained 500 L of electrolyte, a mixed aqueous solution of AgNO3, KI, and sulfosalicylic acid (AgNO3 concentration 30 g / L, KI concentration 200 g / L, sulfosalicylic acid concentration 40 g / L). The electrolysis was powered by a DC constant current regulated power supply. The anode was the Bi-2212 superconducting round wire, and the cathode consisted of multiple parallel graphite plate electrodes (1 m² area). 2 The electrolysis current is 480A.
[0039] S7. Thin-walled copper channel wire and electrolytically treated Bi-2212 superconducting round wire are simultaneously introduced into a solder bath (liquid Sn2Cu). Using a circular wire bonding mold (rectangular, 1.32mm × 1.31mm) immersed in Sn2Cu solder, the Bi-2212 superconducting round wire and thin-walled copper channel wire are pre-bonded to obtain a composite blank. In Sn2Cu solder, the composite blank is further passed through a 1.01mm × 0.91mm rectangular embedding mold. Simultaneously with plastic deformation (15% processing amount), embedding welding is completed in the solder medium to obtain a Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire, denoted as Superconducting Wire-1. The embedding welding temperature is 300℃, and the embedding welding speed is 120m / min. After welding, the Ag layer on the cathode graphite plate electrode is collected.
[0040] In this embodiment, superconducting wire-1 was rewound and subjected to eddy current testing twice, designated as superconducting wire-2. Superconducting wire-2 was rewound and subjected to eddy current testing twice, designated as superconducting wire-3. The performance of superconducting wire-1, superconducting wire-2, and superconducting wire-3 were tested sequentially. The critical current Ic (4.2K, 12T) of superconducting wire-1 was 186.2A, the critical current Ic (4.2K, 12T) of superconducting wire-2 was 185.8A, and the critical current Ic (4.2K, 12T) of superconducting wire-3 was 187.1A. The above experimental results show that multiple rewinding did not significantly affect the critical current Ic of the Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire. At the same time, the solder on the surface of the Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire was uniform and smooth, and no defect signals related to missing solder joints were found during the rewinding process by eddy current testing.

The anode was the Bi-2212 superconducting round wire, and the cathode consisted of multiple graphite plate electrodes connected in parallel (area 1.5m²). 2 The electrolysis current is 750A.
[0063] S7. Thin-walled copper channel wire and electrolytically treated Bi-2212 superconducting round wire are simultaneously introduced into a solder bath (Sn0.7Cu). Using a round wire bonding mold (rectangular, 2.48mm × 2.12mm) immersed in Sn0.7Cu solder, the Bi-2212 superconducting core material is pre-bonded to the thin-walled copper channel wire to obtain a composite blank. In Sn2Cu solder, the composite blank is further passed through a 2.10mm × 1.58mm rectangular embedding mold. Simultaneously with plastic deformation (10% processing amount), embedding welding is completed in the solder medium to obtain a Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire, denoted as Superconducting Wire-1. The embedding welding temperature is 280℃, and the embedding welding speed is 50m / min. After welding, the Ag layer on the cathode graphite plate electrode is collected.
[0064] In this embodiment, superconducting wire-1 was rewound and subjected to eddy current testing twice, designated as superconducting wire-2. Superconducting wire-2 was rewound and subjected to eddy current testing twice, designated as superconducting wire-3. The performance of superconducting wire-1, superconducting wire-2, and superconducting wire-3 were tested sequentially. The critical current Ic (4.2K, 12T) of superconducting wire-1 was 648.1A, the critical current Ic (4.2K, 12T) of superconducting wire-2 was 652.2A, and the critical current Ic (4.2K, 12T) of superconducting wire-3 was 655.7A. The above experimental results show that multiple rewinding did not significantly affect the critical current Ic of the Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire. At the same time, the solder on the surface of the Bi-2212 superconducting flat wire was uniform and smooth, and no defect signals related to missing solder joints were found during eddy current testing during the rewinding process.
