A former for a magnetic coil, particularly a superconducting magnet of the filamentary intermetallic wire type in which the coil is wound green and reacted after winding, the former being typically of stainless steel having an alumina coating flame sprayed onto its surface.

Formers for coils

A mechanically strengthened intermetallic superconductor formed around filaments of one component of the superconductor in a matrix material. The selection of specified relative proportions for the components of the assembly leads to enhanced mechanical properties of the superconductor in the composite.
