“…For the most part austenitic stainless steels or aluminium alloys x-e most suitable since they are non-magnetic and non-brittle at low temperatures (see Scott 1959). A strong electrically insulating material suitable for spacers is epoxy-resin-bonded glass-fibre (Keys et al 1966). The forces developed in the very large windings required for magnetohydrodynamic-generator magnets and bubble chambers, coupled with the need for cooling channels, result in stresses on the load-bearing surfaces very close to the limit of strength of available materials.…”

T h e properties of practical high-field' superconductors are outlined and related to the theory of type I1 superconductors. Their unexpected and disappointing behaviour when first wound into coils for the production of high fields is described. This problem is shown to arise from the nature of the current distribution in such materials and the consequent dissipation under conditions of changing current. The factors affecting this dissipation and the thermal stability of the materials are discussed together with means for achieving stable operationin particular the use of composite conductors. Some of the engineering problems associated with the further development of large superconducting magnets are set out; for example, protection against burn-out, the support of the large forces developed and the introduction of current to the magnet. The article concludes with a brief description of some currently planned superconducting magnets, their applications and their economics.
