Abstract

YBCO coated conductors attract attention because of their high critical current in high magnetic field conditions, hence calling for a suitable coil fabrication method. One of the critical problems associated with this process, however, is the negative impact on YBCO coil performance due to epoxy impregnation. Epoxy impregnation is an important technique to increase the mechanical strength and thermal conductivity of superconducting coils. However, the bonding strength of epoxy resin is stronger than the delamination strength of YBCO coated conductors in a certain direction. Therefore, thermal stress could damage epoxy impregnated YBCO coils. As a new impregnation material, we have focused on cyanoacrylate resin.
