/40 Conductor insulation
• Conductor insulation will rely on a mineral fiber socket► placed around conductor during conductor preparation or► braided around conductor in-line with winding
• Conductor insulation will be completed by a vacuum impregnation with resin of each coil
• Studies on insulation are carried out by STFC-RAL • Conductor unit length for coil 1 (layers 1-2) : 230 m• Conductor unit length for coil 2 (layers 3-4) : 260 m• Before winding, conductor unit lengths will be split on two
different mandrels, one for each coil layer

/40 Winding
• Coil Winding will be realized with flared heads upside-down
• Preliminary winding tests are foreseen in order to evaluate possible tooling/machine interferences see preliminary tests presentation
• Pole pieces will be integrated to the coil from the beginning of the winding.
• The pole pieces will be insulated (Al02 coating ?)

/40 Winding
• Coil winding will start by forming the layer jump and by positioning it in a groove machined in the pole piece (coil 1 winding is showed). Fixing tools are foreseen.
• Then lower layer first turn will be wound, clockwise.

• Once the first conductor turn have be wound, layer jump fixing plate will be removed and replaced by an insulating spacer, blocked by next conductor turn.

• An insulating sheet will be placed over the lower layer► The type of insulating sheet has to be decided
• The upper layer will be wound over the insulating sheet► The insulating sheet has to be robust and provide a good winding
surface for the upper layer

• Horse-shoe end spacers will be adapted to coil winding dimensions and pushed in place.
• Lateral rails will be positioned on each side of the coil► This rails can be the final ones, positioned at this step and never
removed. In this case an insulating sheet will be placed between the rails and the coil
or► This rails can be temporary ones, removed after reaction and
replaced by the final ones before the impregnation. In this case a protection sheet could be positioned between the rails and the coil

• Lateral rails will be maintained by plates, screwed into the lower part of the winding/reaction tool.
• The upper plate of the reaction mold will be positioned over the coil. Lateral plates will be screwed into the mold upper plate too.

• The different parts of the reaction mold will be pushed in the nominal position by screws and stirrups. ► Nominal dimension for the coil will be defined following ten stack
measurement results (see preliminary tests presentation)

4/40 Preparation for heat treatment
• Following the heat treatment preliminary test results (see preliminary tests presentation) an heat treatment control strategy will be applied on reaction tooling :► Fix the coil tightly in vertical direction in order to limit coil
deformation or► Divide winding support and reaction mold upper plate in several
parts in order to manage conductor elongation during the heat treatment. For instance we could foresee to fix bended parts of the coil and let straight parts (central straight section and optional straight section in the heads) free to move.

5/40 Heat treatment
• Heat treatment temperature will be of about 650°C. Heat treatment cycle will be optimized as soon as production strand will be available.
• During heat treatment, coil will be submitted to argon flow• A support structure for the Nb3Sn conductor ends of each
coil is foreseen• An extra length of Nb3Sn conductor will be left at each end
of the coil in order to limit end effects. TIG soldering of the strand ends could be foreseen in order to avoid tin leakage.

6/40 Preparation for impregnation
• After the heat treatment, the coil will be transferred into an aluminum impregnation mold.
• A returning tool for mold transfer is foreseen • During mold transfer operations, Nb3Sn/NbTi splices will be
soldered• Coil instrumentation and quench heater will be added at this
step (like for SMC racetracks)

• Impregnation mold geometry will be similar to reaction mold one.
• It will include Nb3Sn/NbTi splice box which will be impregnated with resin with the coil
