Description
The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking a manufacturer to supply Titanium-Niobium alloy for superconducting radio-frequency cavities. The alloy must meet specific requirements, including chemical composition, hardness, and mechanical strength. The manufacturer must also provide documentation, including traceability information and certification of test results. The cavities will be operated in a cryogenic vacuum environment, requiring pressure certifications and material traceability.
• The alloy must be free of injurious external and internal imperfections.
• The chemical composition must meet specific requirements, including Titanium 55 ± 1%, Aluminum ≤ 0.01%, and Niobium remainder.
• The hardness must be between 130 and 170 HV.
• The mechanical strength must meet minimum yield and tensile strength requirements.
• The manufacturer must provide documentation, including traceability information and certification of test results.
