Experimental study of a prototype dipole magnet with iron at T=80 K for the GSI fast cycling synchrotron

Two new prototype dipole magnets for the proposed new fast cycling (f=1 Hz) synchrotron at GSI in Darmstadt have been designed, fabricated and tested. The magnets are based on a window frame iron yoke cooled by liquid nitrogen and a superconducting winding made from a hollow NbTi composite superconductor cable cooled with forced two-phase helium flow at T=4.5 K. The cold mass of the magnet is separated from the yoke by a small vacuum gap of 0.75 mm to 2.5 mm. A decrease of ac power losses by a factor of 2.3 in comparison with a standard Nuclotron dipole is obtained. The design features of two prototype dipoles as well as the test results are presented.     

Distribution of interstitial impurities in titanium-vanadium alloys after holding in liquid lithium

The distribution of interstitial impurities between liquid lithium and solid titanium-alloyed vanadium is investigated. It is shown that titanium alloying of vandium intensifies nitrogen and carbon transport from lithium into the solid metal. At the same time, the concentration of oxygen in the surface layers of the specimens increases as a result of penetration of lithium and formation of complex oxides of the Me _x Li _y O _z type. Increase in the titanium content leads to an increase in the carbon concentration on the surface and to the formation of protective carbon films that inhibit the diffusion of interstitial impurities into deep-seated layers.Karpenko Physicomechanical Institute, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, L'viv.

Interaction of Solid Metals with Melts Containing Nonmetallic Impurities

We present a systematic survey of the mechanisms of interaction of solid metals (Me) with melts (L) taking into account the activity of nonmetallic impurities (I) and suggest a general scheme of interaction of components in Me–L–I systems. The physicochemical aspects of formation of different layers on the Me–L phase boundary are analyzed. Special attention is given to the conditions of formation of protective layers with various functional properties. It is shown that this problem can be solved theoretically within the framework of the problem of reaction-controlled diffusion by taking into account the behavior of the concentrations of the components on the phase boundaries.
