Keystone angle –8 mm wide, mm thick stainless steel core Biased to thick edge of cable –Core biased toward thick edge of the cable No fabrication issue with the addition of a SS core Addition of the core did not degrade the I c –Measurements show a reduction of ~3% which is typical for this cable without a core Mandrel with slot for adding a core

May 9, 2012D. R. Dietderich, LARP CM-18 Objective of Cable R&D To use existing HQ tooling cable dimensions needed to be reduced to: –Provide more space azimuthally (i.e. thinner cable) –Provide more radial space (i.e. narrower cable) Cable R&D targets dimensions: –Reduce HQ cable thickness by microns To mm mm –Width target is < 15mm (14.7mm -15mm) Accommodates dimensional changes of cable during reaction Thicker insulation or more insulation between layers and tooling –Keystone angle un-changed at 0.75 deg.

May 9, 2012D. R. Dietderich, LARP CM-18 Summary HQ and LHQ cabling process established Target cable parameters for MQXF presented The critical current variation can be due to: –Sample handling while preparing for J c testing? –Or localized damage in some strands during cabling? – Suggests that a cable testing facility is needed for accurate cable critical current measurements. A stainless steel core can be added to the standard HQ cable without significant loss of critical current

May 9, 2012D. R. Dietderich, LARP CM-18 1 Pass Cable with Stainless Steel Core

May 9, 2012D. R. Dietderich, LARP CM-18 LARP Cable Fabrication 2 pass process was developed to reduce dimensional changes of a cable during coil processing and reaction –A cable is fabricated oversize in thickness, annealed (200C for 2-4 hrs), and re-rolling to final thickness. Very important -- Cable is permitted to get wider during the second pass The anneal reduces the residual stress in the cable and the cable shortens by 0.20 – 0.25%. 1 pass process has been developed for adding stainless steel (SS) cores to cables –Strand is annealed (190C for 4 hrs) prior to cabling –Cable is made to final dimensions Due to the mechanical differences between the strand and the SS core a 2 pass process is not possible. However, other core materials such as S-glass tape or MgO paper tapre with a SS core

May 9, 2012D. R. Dietderich, LARP CM-18 R&D to Reduce HQ Cable Dimensions New cable parameters: –Mid-thickness mmfrom 1.44 mm –Width14.80 mmfrom mm –Keystone angle0.75 deg.Unchanged New cable designs will provide more space in tool for cable dimensional changes –Have made the first production cable 1017 with new parameters HQ coil 14 has been fabricated and is ready to test in a mirror. –Have just made a cored cable with the new cable parameters with a strand diameter of 0.778mm. Coil winding with the cored cable was OK –However, popped strands were produced going around the pole They are pushed back into position as winding continues –Planning to cut HQ coil 12 into sections for inspection.
