Abstract

An electrical machine with a superconducting rotor is constructed with a warm damper shield that uses a composite cylindrical assembly of a conductive core in a plurality of inner and outer support tubes. The conductive core is joined to axially adjacent end cylinders of high strength material by the use of mating grooves in the adjacent elements which permits them to be subjected to the forces resulting from the explosive welding of the inner and outer support tubes without damage thereto.
