One of the alternative manufacturing technologies for SRF cavities is hydroforming from seamless tubes. Although this technology has produced cavities with gradient and Q-values comparable to standard EBW/EP cavities, a few questions remain. One of these questions is whether the quench mechanism in hydroformed cavities is the same as in standard electron beam welded cavities. Towards this effort Jefferson Lab performed quench studies on 4 different seamless hydroformed cavities. These cavities include DESY’s – Z163 and Z164 nine-cell cavities, and Black Laboratories nine-cell and two-cell TESLA shaped cavities, hydroformed at DESY. Initial results from the cavities and quench localization were published in SRF2011*. In this report we will present post JLAB surface retreatment quench studies for each cavity. The data will include OST and T-mapping quench localization as well as quench location preheating analysis comparing them to the observations in standard electron beam welded cavities. *W. Singer, A.
