9. Post Curing Mold Review Miao Yu 05/14/2013

10. Review note 1: D. & Proc. Procurement of LQXF formblock laminations should be delayed until design develops for SQXF. In the event that conductor width or other changes are incorporated, revisions to the stamping die may be implemented before LQXF laminations are stamped. – Mike 2 step procurement process, short tooling now, long tooling later. - Fred 10

11. Action1: Design &Procurement FY13: SQXF curing mold FY14: LQXF curing mold Keep the same cross-section design on both SQXF and LQXF curing mold. Keep the 60 mil thick curing retainer. Adjust the shim in between the retainer and the coil to compensate the difference in final cable dimension. (current design has 20 mil shim) 11 Procurement LQXF die

12. Review note 2: Curing Press Values of applied load to coils for given hydraulic pressure assumed that cylinders beyond the length of the coil contributed to the coil pressure. This should be revised to reflect that only cylinders directly loading coils contribute to applied load. – Mike Applied pressure of 22 MPa on coils during curing was considered to be high. However, planning for unexpectedly high loads is a conservative measure. Furthermore, this is a tooling review, not a coil curing procedural review, and so extra safety margin in the tooling design is appropriate. – Mike Adjust formula on page 4, load per unit length on coil only. - Fred 12

The pressure starts low Main pressure: 700 psi Mandrel pressure: 500 psi 5 loading steps up to the limit pressure, each step we measure the mold gap Upper limit

14. Review note 3: Heat transfer Mandrels do not include holes for electric heaters. LHQ mandrel temperatures will be monitored to determine if coil reaches proper temperature at all locations along inner radius during cure. Thermal analysis of the QXF curing assembly (mandrel, pushers, coil and formblock installed in press) should also be completed to validate the experimental results. Note that if results are unsatisfactory, in this respect also carbon steel mandrel material may be advantageous due to superior thermal conductivity as compared to stainless steel. Analysis should also include the effect of candidate steel versus mylar spacers between coil and liner during cure. - Mike Analyze heat transfer in coil during curing. Use coil LHQ02 to measure mandrel & coil shell temperature during curing with Mylar radial spacer. Compare the time to heat the coil shell temperature with LQH01. Apply results to FQX curing tooling. - Fred 14

15. Action 3: Heat transfer In LHQ coil 02, coil mandrel temperature will be monitored, at two locations close to the end of the coil, to determine if the coil reaches the proper temperature. (Mylar shim will be used in between the retainer and this coil) Thermal analysis of QXF. 15

16. Review note 4: Coil End Load Coils are cured without end pressure. Instead set screws on pusher blocks attached to the mandrel apply an initial load to the coil end shoe after winding. This load is applied before azimuthal pressure is applied to put conductors in proper azimuthal position, i.e., before the end shoes are fully seated, and therefore remains a concern. Use of Belleville washers or some other means to be able to complete the seating of the coil end shoe after the azimuthal pressure is applied should be considered. - Mike 16

17. Action 4: Coil End Load Belleville washers will be used in LHQ coil 02 between the screw and the coil end pusher, which will help the coil saddle sit better after coil compressed azimuthally. 17

18. Review note 5: Material 304 stainless steel is planned for mandrel and pushers (apparently this is being considered for use at CERN as well). Carbon steel should be considered for relatively lower material and machining costs. – Mike Material selection or the tooling is acceptable. - Fred 18

20. Review note 6: Model compare FNAL and CERN curing tooling drawings should be compared. -Mike 20

21. Action 6: Model Status at FNAL We are still working on the winding and curing tooling. (1~2 month) Try to fit all the other existing tooling, such as winding table and rotation table. Waiting for the final cross-section and coil design for the curing spacer at layer jump area. 21
