Based on a successful 1 T Class PIT insert coil, we now pursue a 3 T Class
insert coil. This paper describes the design and the latest conductor and c
oil test results, as well as supporting experiments. The final product is e
nvisioned to contain 3 concentric sections, requiring over one kilometer of
conductor. This will be tested in a 20 T large bore resistive magnet at th
e NHMFL. Experimental work focuses on the use of conductor with a silver-al
low matrix in the outer sections, that are subject to the largest stresses
when operated in a background field. Results from heat treatment optimizati
on for would coils, mechanical test of conductors and coil design studies a
re reported.
