About this award
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Superconducting Systems Inc., a for-profit small business manufacturer of advanced superconducting magnet technologies. The $124,964 firm fixed-price contract supports the development and testing of high current density, low loss niobium-tin (Nb3Sn) superconducting wires, as well as studies of AC losses in shielded high-temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets and the development of low eddy current loss magnet subcomponents. The ultimate completion date for this Phase I R&D contract is December 9, 2016. Superconducting Systems Inc. is expected to leverage this Phase I work to focus their Phase II efforts entirely on the development of shielded HTS and magnesium diboride (MgB2) magnets capable of operating at temperatures above 15 Kelvin, which is the technical challenge identified in the government's description of this procurement.
Description
This proposal responds to the technological challenge of design and manufacture of shielded superconducting magnets generating 3-4 t at temperatures>15 k. An efficient ADR or amrr system is likely to be a multistage stage system having magnets operating at different temperatures. Known superconductors that can operate at>15 k are: 1) ybco tapes, 2) BI2223 wires, 3) BI2212 wires, 4) MGB2 wires, and 5) NB3SN wires. Our phase i project will have the following technical objectives: a) development and testing of high current density low loss NB3SN wires, b) study of AC losses of shielded HTS ADR magnets, and c) development of magnet subcomponents with low eddy current losses. We expect our work on high critical current density low AC loss NB3SN wires to come to a successful fruition in the phase i, and expect our phase II r & d to be entirely dedicated to development of shielded HTS and MGB2 magnets.
