Abstract
We describe an industry/university collaboration to develop High Temperatur e Superconducting insert coils for use in the next generation of high-field research magnets. Using BSCCO-2212 dip-coat tape on thin silver substrate and a Wind, React and Tighten (WRAT) technique we have achieved extremely h igh engineering current densities in excess of 150A/mm(2). We describe our latest results, discuss some of the problems with the WRAT method and brief ly describe a project to build a High T-c SMES magnet.
