Abstract

This paper reviews needs for structural materials used in high-field superconducting magnets. Although written from an American perspective, much of the important current research is done interactively through parallel programs in the United States and Japan. High-field superconducting magnets are used principally for magnetic-fusion energy devices and for accelerators for research in particle physics. The advances in both technologies have increased the field, size, and performance requirements of such magnets. More stringent requirements are expected in the future. The materials required include structural materials for the magnet case and for the support structure. Current research on these materials is discussed.
