Summary
This conference paper describes the application of additive manufacturing technologies to produce precise and complex metal components for high-field accelerator magnet coils at Fermilab. The work discusses design approaches, fabrication methodologies using various materials including aluminium bronze and titanium alloy, and associated quality control procedures. The research demonstrates the potential of 3D printing for manufacturing prototype models to test and optimise component geometry before full-scale production.
UK applicability
This paper addresses accelerator magnet technology development and has limited direct applicability to UK agricultural or food systems research. It may be of relevance only to UK institutions engaged in high-energy physics or materials science infrastructure projects.
Key measures
Quality control methods and results for additive-manufactured magnet coil parts; geometry optimisation of prototype models
Outcomes reported
The study evaluated designs of complex stress-management coil parts for high-field accelerator magnets fabricated using additive manufacturing technologies. Quality control methods and results for AM-produced magnet components were documented and assessed.
