Definitions
- the invention due to the collaboration of the National Service of the Intensive Fields of the CNRS (Director M. AUBERT) relates to a process for manufacturing a Bitter type coil, entering more particularly into the constitution of a large magnet.
- NMR Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
- NMR imaging installations require a large magnet capable of generating a uniform magnetic field in a determined region of space. Typically, it is necessary to generate a magnetic field of 0.15 to 0.5 teslas with a homogeneity of 1 to 10 parts per million (ppm) in a sphere of 0 cm in diameter at least.
- ppm parts per million
- Bitter coils are well known for the production of strong magnetic fields.
- the structure proposed by Bitter is a coil made up of metallic annular discs (generally made of copper or aluminum), split to form as many turns and connected to define a sensitive winding.
- the stack of discs is maintained by a plurality of tie rods.
- This structure is advantageous because it allows efficient cooling of the magnet, by making holes in the discs (and in the insulators separating these discs), these holes being arranged in the same configuration-
- a magnet delivering a magnetic field of homogeneity required in a certain volume in the vicinity of its center of symmetry and consisting of a number of such Bitter coils arranged along a common longitudinal axis. Methods of calculating such magnets are for example explained in other patent applications of the Applicant.
- the invention mainly relates to a method of construction of such a Bitter type coil, consisting in forming a winding of turns in the form of flat annular metal discs and in producing a contiguous stack of such discs, characterized in that butt connection of such discs or parts of such discs by welding with the addition of indium.
- Indium welding can be carried out at relatively low temperature (of the order of 200) to avoid deformation of the discs or portions of discs, which makes it possible to obtain a particularly regular winding with contiguous turns.
- indium has the additional advantage of excellent electrical conductivity.
- the addition of indium is preferably carried out prior to welding by electrolytic deposition on portions to be assembled, the welding then being carried out by heating said portions in the assembly position, for example by means of a "HF turn".
- the portions to be assembled are provided with indentations of complementary shapes and dimensions and the deposition of indium is carried out on these indentations.
- FIG. 2 is a detail view illustrating the assembly of two similar disc parts, after the deposition of indium and before the welding of said parts.
- the basic structure used according to the invention for producing a large Bitter coil usable, in particular, in an NMR imaging installation to generate a uniform magnetic field of great homogeneity.
- Each coil is made up of end-to-end assembly of parts 12 of flat annular discs.
- Each disc part 12 comprises, in the example shown, opposite recesses 14, 15, of complementary shapes and dimensions, at each of its ends respectively.
- the recess 14 of a disc part can be assembled by welding to the recess 15 of another neighboring disc part and so on with the interposition of insulation between the turns, until a coil of Complete bitter.
- each disc part 12 has holes 16 according to a predetermined configuration which, with the corresponding holes in the disc parts of the other turns, reconstitute the coolant circulation channels parallel to the axis of the coil.
- Other holes 17 of larger diameter are also provided in each disc part for the passage of the tie rods ensuring the winding with contiguous turns, according to the conventional technique defined by Bitter.
- the welds of the disc parts 12 are carried out with the addition of indium by heating to a relatively low temperature, which avoids deformations of the Bitter discs, the thickness of which is of the order of only 2 mm for a diameter. outside of the order of a meter.
- the positioning accuracy of the parts to be assembled and the quality of the weld are significantly improved if the indium 18 is previously electrolytically deposited on the surfaces to be assembled, that is to say here on the surfaces.
- the electrolytic deposition of indium on a piece of copper is within the reach of the skilled person. It will be preferably after electrolytic polishing of the portions comprising said recesses.
- the precut of the disc parts is such that, as shown, each of them represents a fraction of turn of the coil, here close to a third of turn. More precisely, the portions of discs are all identical and each represents a non-whole fraction of a complete turn (that is to say different from a half, a third, a quarter, ...) so that the welded areas of the stack are distributed in a helix, and not grouped along one or more generators of the coil.
