Abstract: A superconducting magnet system with a quench protection circuit includes a superconducting magnet having a plurality of series-connected superconducting coils, a persistent current switch connected in parallel with the superconducting coils, and first and second quench protection circuits connected in parallel with the superconducting coils and the persistent current switch. The first quench protection circuit includes anti-parallel diodes and parallelly connected resistive heaters and shunt resistors, and the resistive heaters and the shunt resistors are each connected in series with the diodes. The second quench protection circuit has a diode and a metal of copper connected with the diode, and a turn-on voltage of the diode in the second quench protection circuit is lower than a turn-on voltage of the diodes in the first quench protection circuit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a superconductivity magnet apparatus for generating a uniform magnetic field suitable for NMR applications. The superconductivity magnet apparatus has an access port for allowing an access to the center of the magnetic field from an external position separated away from the center in a direction other than the axial direction of a split-type superconductivity electromagnet employed in the magnet apparatus. In the superconductivity magnet apparatus, a gap exists between first and second superconductivity coil blocks facing each other to form the split-type superconductivity electromagnet. To put it in detail, the access port allows an access to a measurement space at the center of the magnet by way of the gap. A configuration element of the magnet such as a coil bobbin is cut out for providing the access port. An area including a deficiency portion caused by the cutout portion or the like is filled up with a material having a relative magnetic permeability in the range 1.

Abstract: This invention relates to high-Cr precision casting materials containing carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, vanadium, niobium, nitrogen, molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt and optionally boron in specific weight proportions, the balance being iron and incidental impurities, as well as turbine blades made by a precision casting process using these materials. Thus, the present invention provides high-Cr precision casting materials which are capable of precision casting and, moreover, have excellent high-temperature strength, as well as inexpensive and highly reliable turbine blades made by using these casting materials and such turbine blades also having lighter weight.
