Magnet core construction concept for a 500 MeV H⁻ cyclotron Kiesners, U.; Logie, A. V.; Stringer, J.; Roy Chowdhury, A. (Asesh); Dilworth, Secord, Meagher and Associates Limited
Abstract
This report describes the construction of the 4000-ton sector magnet cores for the TRIUMF cyclotron. The various considerations leading to the optimum design concept are discussed in detail. These include a study of the magnetic properties of commercial steels; the relative advantages of plates, forgings and castings; assembly methods such as bolting and welding; and an assessment of tolerances obtainable by flame cutting and machining. Economy considerations and delivery time have received major attention throughout the study. An important objective was to adapt the design, to the largest possible extent, to the capabilities of Canadian steel manufacturers and fabricators. The report includes a construction schedule and concludes with a cost estimate ($2,834,000).

This report describes the construction of the
4000-ton sector magnet cores for the TRIUMF
cyclotron. The various considerations leading
to the optimum design concept are discussed in
detail. These include a study of the magnetic
properties of commercial steels; the relative
advantages of plates, forgings and castings;
assembly methods such as bolting and welding;
and an assessment of tolerances obtainable by
flame cutting and machining.
Economy considerations and delivery time have
received major attention throughout the study.
An important objective was to adapt the design,
to the largest possible extent, to the capabilities
of Canadian steel manufacturers and
fabricators.
The report includes a construction schedule and
concludes with a cost estimate ($2,834,000).
