Abstract :
The production run of all 432 superconducting 8 cm corrector magnets required for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has been completed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). All have been tested at 4.35 K for quench performance and at room temperature for magnetic field quality. In addition, magnetic field measurements at 4.35 K have been done for a 20% sample of these. Summaries of the harmonic and quench test results are presented. A comparison of the quench performance for magnets made with different coil preload tensions is also shown
