The main problems
 During the UNK project,
superconducting dipoles have
been developed and produced
in a pilot industrial batch of 25
magnets. The operating field of
the dipoles was 5.11 T, at
0.11 T/s ramp rate.
 Improvements of the present
UNK dipole design will be
considered to extend the
operating range of the dipoles
to 6 T, with ramp rates of 1 T/s.
 To design and choice of new
current carrying element
both wire and cable.
 To select of new material for
iron yoke.
 To choice
of magnet
geometry (2D and 3D) of
computer simulation
 To minimaze of total AClosses and their components
in the coil and iron yoke.
Steel choice.
Two candidate steels 2212 and M250-50A were chosen for analysis of the
influence of these steels on field quality, as well as on heat loss in the iron
yoke during magnet pulsed operation.
Steel 2212 is better, from the viewpoint of field quality, but full hysteresis
losses in iron (for 1-m dipole) of this steel is 44.8 [J/m] and 24.8 [J/m] for
M250-50A.

Measurements of Rc
 Measurements

were
performed on the small pieces of
SC cable. Side ridge of cable were
cut. Current flowed across cable
through the area of 1312 mm2
(~120 crossover joints).
 Pressure applied to this area at
4.2 K was varied from 0 to
90 MPa. Above 20 MPa the
pressure dependence of Rc have
gentle dip.
 For the cables exposed by 4 hour
heat treatment The crossover
resistance Rc at 50 Mpa and 4.2 K
(operating condition) was equal
450 and 120 m for polyimide or
epoxy adhesive gluing regimes
correspondingly.

CONCLUSION
 Magnetic properties of tree types of cold rolled thin sheet of electrical
Si steels have been measured at room and 4.2 K temperatures. For the
iron yoke of the SIS-300 dipole was choice steel type M250-50A.
 The contact resistances (Ra and Rc ) of SC-cable were measured that
permitted to calculate AC-losses of SIS300 dipole.
 Bending of the collared dipole coil (50 m curvature radius) did not
produce turn-to-turn shorts. Training and ramp rate dependence of
the straight and bent dipoles are similar. AC-losses were practically
unchanged, after dipole bending.
 The magnetic, thermal and mechanical calculations of the SIS300
dipole was carried out.
 The next step consists of manufacture and test 1-meter SC dipole
model with the parameters of the last developed design.
