Development of the Industrial Application of Superconducting Magnet

Abstract

MRI systems in the medical field are widely used, and it is already well known that great progress has been made in the development of superconducting technologies. Superconducting magnets are also being used for growing high-quality silicon single crystals. This is one example of the industrial application of superconductivity, illustrating that superconducting technologies have been able to meet many customer requirements. In this report, we present the history of the technological developments for these industrial applications of superconducting magnets.
