RRPRRP®® TiTi--TernaryTernary vs. Tavs. Ta--TernaryTernary
Advantages of Ti-Ternary
� Does not require Nb-7.5wt% Ta alloy rods
�Ti introduced by Nb – 47 wt.% Ti rods
� Ti content can be tweaked easily to
maximize Hc2
� Ti accelerates Nb Sn reaction
A.K. Ghosh Hi-Lumi/LARP CM 22 @BNL, May 07-08, 2014
� Ti accelerates Nb3Sn reaction
� At 650 oC/48h , Ti-Ternary has higher
Jc(15T) than Ta-Ternary
� Higher strain tolerance
� i.e. higher irreversible strain limit

Strand Specification for the HiLumi ProjectStrand Specification for the HiLumi Project
• In late Oct’2013 we had an internal LARP-CERN
review of the strand and cable for the MQXF
magnets.
• Subsequently within a Conductor Working Group
with members from CERN and LARP we agreed on
a set of requirements for the strand and cable
•
A.K. Ghosh Hi-Lumi/LARP CM 22 @BNL, May 07-08, 2014
• In the near future these requirements will be
codified in a Conceptual Specification document
that will be in the CERN EDMS system for the
HiLumi-LHC Project.

Cabling TradeCabling Trade--offs offs
• Minimize the amount of strand damage
– Less compaction
– Can lead to mechanically unstable cable for coil winding
• Increase mechanical stability of cable
– More compaction and deformation of strands
– More strand damage - Reduced critical current and RRR
A.K. Ghosh Hi-Lumi/LARP CM 22 @BNL, May 07-08, 2014
– More strand damage - Reduced critical current and RRR (Sub-element shear leading to barrier thinning and barrier breakage causing Sn leak into copper and reducing RRR)
– LBNL is using a Strand Damage Score to evaluate damage to sub-elements using microscopy of cable x-sections

Example of sub-element shearing and barrier rupture
These damage lead to mostly RRR degradation of the copper stabilizer at the edges of the cable. Low RRR can lead to conductor instability due to “magnetization” and “self-field” effects. Target is to maintain RRR > 100 at the “kinks” – cable edges.

Specification for LARP/CERN QXF CableSpecification for LARP/CERN QXF Cable11stst Iteration Iteration
• Number of strands 40• Mid-thickness 1.525 mm +/- 0.010 mm• Width 18.15 mm +/- 0.050 mm• K.S. angle 0.55 deg. +/- 0.10 deg. • Pitch Length 109 mm +/- 3 mm • Core Material Annealed 316L SS• Core Width 10 - 14 mm (TBD)
A.K. Ghosh Hi-Lumi/LARP CM 22 @BNL, May 07-08, 2014
• Core Width 10 - 14 mm (TBD)• Core thickness 0.025 mm
• Cables, made with RRP strands, using these parameters are not fully mechanically stable during coil winding– Occasional “popped strands”
• At this time cables are being managed during coil winding by using a winding block and ceramic binder on the fiberglass insulation

Cable Insulation Cable Insulation
• Insulation is braided directly on cable
– New England Wire Technology (NEWT)
• Using S-2® glass (from AGY) with 933 Silane sizing
• HQ03 used cable with braided insulation, 0.100 ± 0.005 mm thick. Braided insulation replaced pre -fabricated sleeve used in LARP magnets
•
A.K. Ghosh Hi-Lumi/LARP CM 22 @BNL, May 07-08, 2014
• Several lengths of QXF cable has been insulated
– Using braiding parameters to yield target specification of 0.145 ±0.005 mm thickness
– 10-stack measurements at 5 MPa are used to determine insulation thickness
– Thickness can be readily adjusted to meet any change to present specification.

SummarySummary
• The “reduced-Sn” design change increases RRR control with minimal loss of Jc. – Implemented for all billets in process and future procurements.
• RRP® 132/169 wire can meet strand specs– Manufacturing margin in Ic needs to be increased by good
control of the Nb/Sn ratio
• LARP plan implements 132/169-strand in SQXF3 magnet and all LQXF prototypes.
A.K. Ghosh Hi-Lumi/LARP CM 22 @BNL, May 07-08, 2014
and all LQXF prototypes.
• Strand procurement has been planned to meet cable manufacture and coil winding schedule.
• We have a 1st iteration of the cable parameters. Final parameters will be set after sufficient cabling experience – July-Aug’14
• Specification and Production QA plan to be finalized this fiscal year for strand, cable and insulation
