  • Patent number: 5538942
    Abstract: A superconducting magnet coil is produced by winding a superconducting wire to form a coil; impregnating the coil with a curable resin composition of low viscosity which contains for example at least one epoxy resin selected from the group consisting of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol AF, all having a number-average molecular weight of 350-1,000, a flexibilizer and a curing catalyst, to obtain a curable-resin composition-impregnated coil; and heating the curable-resin-composition-impregnated coil to cure the composition.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5384197
    Abstract: A superconducting magnet coil contains a coil of superconducting wire and a cured product of a curable resin composition with which the coil has been impregnated, the cured product having a thermal shrinkage factor of 1.5-0.3%, preferably 1.0-0.3%, when cooled from the glass transition temperature to 4.2K, a bend-breaking strain of 2.9-3.9%, preferably 3.2-3.9%, at 4.2K and a modulus of 500-1,000 kg/mm.sup.2 at 4.2K, or undergoing a thermal stress of 0-10 kg/mm.sup.2 when cooled from the glass transition temperature to 4.2K and resisting to quench during superconducting operation.

  • Patent number: 4393429
    Abstract: A superconductive coil has both its terminals connected in parallel with a protecting device which has a diode and a unipolar d.c. motor connected in series with each other. The superconductive coil is further connected with an energizing d.c. power source through a switch. The conductive direction of the diode is so selected that the d.c. motor is driven by the energizing energy of the superconductive coil when the switch is opened in the quenching operation of the superconductive coil.
