In the process of manufacturing products from high-temperature superconductors (HTS), quality control must be carried out. Traditionally, for HTS coils, electrical tests are carried out to determine critical current. In the case of an unacceptable result, it is necessary to determine the cause. Therefore, it is necessary to develop nondestructive testing methods. This article proposes a technology for manufacturing quality evaluation. It is based on determining the actual location of the tape and the gaps between the turns and rows of the coil and analyzing these values. For this purpose, samples were scanned using computed tomography (CT) with a Nordson Dage XD7600NT X-ray inspection system with a μCT module. The obtained data were analyzed using VolumeGraphics VGStudio 2.2 software. Furthermore, the proposed technology can be used as part of a predictive analysis of the state of HTS coils in the windings of electrical machines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
