  A magnetic flux expulsion lens (MFEL) has been designed and built at CERN. This device uses closed topology conduction cooling of samples to quantify magnetic flux expulsion of superconductors, and allows for systematic measurements of the cooling dynamics and the magnetic response during the superconducting transition. Measurements for bulk Nb, cold worked Nb, sputtered Nb on Cu, and SIS multilayer structures are given. Preliminary results for both sample characterization of expulsion dynamics, and observation of an enhanced flux expulsion in SIS samples are also reported.

  In the past years, Finite Element Methods have been increasingly applied at CERN, with the aim of modelling fabrication processes for SRF components. Currently, many large deformation processes such as deep drawing, forging, hydroforming, and spinning, are being simulat-ed. Taking the initial trials out of the workshop via simu-lation has proven very efficient for steering fabrication strategy, avoiding unnecessary trials, and helping to re-duce time and costs. This contribution will present a novel approach for studying fabrication process feasibil-ity and failure prediction using numerical tools, based on the Forming Limit Diagram method, developed for OFE copper sheets. This contribution will show the applica-tion of the mentioned method on the study of tubular hydroforming, as an alternative way to produce seamless elliptical RF cavities. Analysis of past hydroforming trials is also discussed, together with the comparison of different fabrication strategies.

The Crab Cavities are key components of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project at CERN, which aims to increase the integrated luminosity of the LHC, the world’s largest particle accelerator, by a factor of ten. This paper explores the application of the Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) to enhance the manufacturing process of complex-shape Nb-based cavities, with a focus on the formability challenges experienced with the pole of the Radio Frequency Dipole (RFD) Crab Cavities. The study includes the material characterization of ultra-high-purity niobium (Nb RRR300) sheets, namely mechanical tests and microstructural analysis; it also contains large-deformation Finite Element simulations of the pole deep drawing process, and the translation of the resulting strains in a FLD diagram, together with several suggestions on how to improve the manufacturing process of such deep drawn parts. The results of this study can provide valuable insights into improving the design and fabrication of complex-shaped superconducting radio-frequency cavities made by large-deformation metal-sheet forming processes.
