This study is aimed at developing an eddy-current-based SQUID-NDE system for in-situ inspection of micro flaws on thin copper heat exchanger tubes. The system employs a high temperature superconductor (HTS-) SQUID gradiometer and a Helmholtz-coil-type inducer. As specimens, copper tubes 6.35 mm in outer diameter and 0.8 mm in thickness with artificial surface flaws of several tens μm in depth were inspected using the system. Magnetic response due to a flaw of 10 μm in depth on the tube moving at 32 m/min was successfully detected while applying an excitation field of 10 μT at 3 kHz to the tube. Numerical simulations were also conducted to evaluate how many sensors would be required for inspection around the circumference of an entire tube.

The superconducting levitation device comprises a stationary magnetic rail of permanent magnets and a cryostat on a vehicle with a second-generation high-temperature tape superconductor placed in the cryostat, folded in a stack or wound by a coil on a non-magnetic frame without electrical connection of the ends and the transport current. Cool tape high-temperature superconductor of the second generation, folded in a stack or wound on a non magnetic frame in the form of axisymmetric or track coil, without electric connections of the ends and a transport current, behaves as a massive sample of a superconductor and the Meissner Oxenfeld effect, the magnetic field created by the magnetic rail is displaced from the volume of the superconductor, causing the power of levitation and the vehicle hangs over the track structure. The high critical parameters of the second-generation high-temperature superconductor belt ensure efficient operation of the superconducting levitation device. Aim: To demonstration the technical feasibility and efficiency of creating a levitation unit based on the use of a second-generation high-temperature superconductor and permanent magnets made of rare earth metals. Methods: Calculations of the magnetic field distribution in the combination of a magnetic rail and a massive superconductor, preliminary design of the levitation unit and experimental studies on the model. Results: Experiments on a model of a superconducting levitation device confirmed the efficiency of this technical solution and its effectiveness. Conclusion: an original technical solution is proposed that allows to significantly improve the energy characteristics of the levitation node by using a second-generation high-temperature superconductor operating in a passive mode without a transport current, using the partial Meissner-Oxenfeld effect and the engagement of quantized magnetic flux strands at the pinning centers.
