โฆ Synopsis
This paper reports on the simulation of winding friction likely to arise in large superconducting magnetic systems. Sample materials were the superconducting composites Cu-Nb (prepared in situ), Cu-NbTi and bronze-Nb3Sn. Instabilities of the superconducting state during essentially unstable low temperature external friction were indicated by development of normal zones in the composites. Their dependence on the frictional force jump magnitude and character is studied, and a concept of their development is proposed.
