Cable Salient parameters of the Rutherford-type cable- illustration of the cable cross-section. • Nb3Sn strands expand due to the phase transformation ~ 3% in thickness & ~1% in width • Design of the coil winding and curing tooling is based on the cable cross-section prior to reaction. • Design of the coil-reaction and impregnation tooling are based on the reacted cable’s dimensions. • Reacted cable size used for the electromagnetic and structural analysis & optimization. 13 May 2011, FNAL-CERN CM1 Demonstrator Dipole Cold Mass Fabrication Fred Nobrega 9

Coil Winding • FNAL, BNL, & LBNL have successfully collaborated throughout the LARP coil fabrication process. • Inner and outer coils are wound without a splice between them. • Coil cables have anisotropic material properties. • Titanium pole pieces (slight coil tension at cool down) • Stainless steel wedges (less longitudinal shrinkage (better match with coil longitudinal CTE) • Stainless steel & Titanium end parts provided by CERN (lower CTE than Al Bronze) • Lessons learned have been incorporated into coil fabrication. • De-cabling during winding controlled withwinding techniques (reducing winding tension at critical moments) • Adding a 360° twist between the cable tensioner and the coil during winding • Changed cable tension system (cable now takes a straight path from the tensioner to the coil, rather than passing through a series of rollers) • Gaps between coil and end parts solved by cutting slots into certain end parts to make them more flexible.

Coil Curing • After winding, cable insulation is injected with ceramic binder CTD-1008. • Coils are cured at 150° C for 30 minutes in a closed cavity mold. • Azimuthal coil pressure is approximately 27 MPa. • Purpose of curing is to set the coil size for reaction and for easy handling for into the reaction fixture without damage.
