Abstract
In order to evaluate the cryogenic compressive properties of G-10CR and SL- ES30 glass-cloth/epoxy laminates for superconducting magnets in fusion ener gy systems, compression tests were performed at room temperature (RT), liqu id nitrogen temperature (77 K) and liquid helium temperature (4 K). The eff ects of temperature and specimen geometry on the compressive properties are examined. Photomicrographs of actual failure modes were utilized to verify the failure mechanisms.
