Abstract

Multifilamentary MgB<subscript>2</subscript> wire was used to construct three coils that were tested for transport J<subscript>c</subscript> and magnetic field in the bore between 4.2 K and 30 K. The solenoid coil achieved 85 A at 4.2 K with 3.9 T in a 3.8 cm bore. A racetrack coil was also fabricated with an attached compression plate to test the effects of compressive stress on an MgB<subscript>2</subscript> racetrack coil. At compressive stresses up to 52 MPa, no degradation was observed in transport J<subscript>c</subscript> at 20 K. A react and wind coil with a 56 cm bore and 828 m of MgB2 wire was also tested for transport J<subscript>c</subscript> and magnetic field in the bore to demonstrate the feasibility of the react and wind process. At 5 K, the react and wind coil achieved 168 A and 0.17 T. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
