摘要: 【目的】磁约束核聚变装置依赖超导磁体产生强磁场约束等离子体,采用高温超导(high-temperature superconductor,HTS)磁体是目前最有希望实现可控核聚变的途径,但其失超行为可能引发热失控与结构损毁,严重威胁装置安全。因此,研究HTS磁体线圈的浸渍处理和绝缘方式的选择,对磁体的机械强度、热稳定性及失超行为至关重要。【方法】首先,分析了环氧树脂、石蜡、冰等浸渍材料的性能差异及其对磁体的影响与相应优化策略;其次,对比了绝缘绕制与无绝缘绕制的失超特性;最后,综述了并联无绝缘、金属包层、层内无绝缘及导电环氧树脂浸渍等改进技术的研究现状。【结论】浸渍材料与绝缘方式的选择是机械支撑、散热效率与电磁稳定性之间的多目标权衡。当前研究在面向聚变极端工况的稳定性与匝间接触电阻的精确调控方面仍面临挑战。未来研究需通过多物理场仿真、极端环境验证及新材料研发等途径,推动该技术走向工程应用。

Abstract: Magnetic confinement fusion devices rely on superconducting magnets to generate strong magnetic fields for plasma confinement. The use of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets is currently the most promising approach to achieve controllable nuclear fusion. However, the quench behavior of these magnets may induce thermal runaway and structural destruction, posing a severe threat to the safety of the device. Therefore, investigating the selection of impregnation treatment and insulation methods for HTS magnet coils is crucial for the mechanical strength, thermal stability, and quench behavior of the magnets.[Methods] Firstly, the performance differences of various impregnation materials such as epoxy resin, paraffin wax, and ice, their effects on magnets, and corresponding optimization strategies are analyzed. Secondly, the quench characteristics of insulated winding and non-insulated winding are compared. Finally, the current research status of improved techniques, including parallel non-insulation, metallic cladding, intra-layer non-insulation, and conductive epoxy resin impregnation, is reviewed.[Conclusions] The selection of impregnation materials and insulation methods represents a multi-objective trade-off among mechanical support, heat dissipation efficiency, and electromagnetic stability. Current research still faces challenges in terms of stability and precise control of interturn contact resistance under extreme operating conditions in fusion environments. Future studies need to advance this technology toward engineering applications through approaches such as multiphysics simulations, validation in extreme environments, and the development of new materials.
