We evaluated the electric properties of Bi-2223 jointed tapes processed by both resistive-and superconducting-joint methods. For resistive-joint. filler materials of wood metal Pb/Sn. In and silver paste were used whereas for superconductive-joint lap joint method was used. In the resistive joint tape. critical transport property(CCR) n-value and contact resistance were observed to be in the range of 10-85% 1-8,9. and 0.71x10$\^$-6/-0.13x10$\^$-6/Ω, respectively. depending on their filler materials. Specifically it is believed that the electrical properties of resistive joint tape are significantly related to the resistivity of filler materials. On the other hand the CCR of superconductin joint type was varied 55 to 85% with uniaxial pressure probably due to the irregular microstructure in the transition region.

Since the strand-to-strand type joint far CICC (Cable-In-Conduit Conductor) is small in size and has low DC resistance, it is expected to be useful type fur a superconducting magnet system which had a compact structure like the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) coil system. The DC resistance is changed according to the distribution patterns of strands in cables connected together in the joint. A commercial code was used for the calculation of the DC resistance. With the decrease of outer diameter of the Joint, Which means the increase of strand volume fraction in the joint, the calculated DC resistance decrease rapidly and non-lineally. The variation of resistance depends mainly on the volume fraction of solder which has higher resistivity than copper. The resistance decrease inversely with the increase of the length of the joint. The resistance increase with increase of number of triplets in each stack contacted with that of another terminal cable. In case of the strand-to-strand joint that has 62mm of outer diameter, 52mm of inner diameter, 100mm of overlap length, and four triplets in each stack, the calculated DC resistance is less than 1 n-Ohm.

고온초전도체 61심 Bi-2223 선재간의 초전도 접합부위를 화학적 부식 및 열적· 기계적 반복 공정에 의하여 제조하였다. 초전도 선재 테이프의 은 피복재 한쪽 표면을 초전도체와 반응하지 않는 부식액(NH4OH:H2O2=1:1)으로 화학적으로 제거한 다음, 두 시편을 일출가압 성형하여 접합시편을 제조하였고 일련의 서로 다른 열적· 기계적 처리를 거쳐 접합부의 물성 및 미세구조를 분석하였다. 접합부를 따라 임계전류(Ic) 변화와 전류전압 곡선의 특성을 측정하기 위하여 여러 단자를 접합부 주위에 설치하여 부위별 I~V 특성을 측정한 결과 단심선재에 비하여 다심선재에서 선재 전체의 통전 능력을 좌우하는 천이구간의 임계전류값이 높았다. 그러나 단심에 비해 다심선재는 천이급속도를 나타내는 n값이 다심선재내 각각의 초전도 core들의 상호작용에 의하여 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 접합부의 임계전류 통전성은 반복적인 가압성형 공정과 서냉반응 열처리 공정에 의하여 향상되었다.

Critical current ratio and n-value of Bi(2223)/Ag superconducting joint tape were measured as a function of uniaxial pressure. In the superconducting joint method, MM and MSM joint were used ; MM joint is direct connection of two -multi filamentary tapes, and MSM is connection of them by using a single -filamentary tape. It was observed that the critical current ratio(CCR) for jointed tapes was not dependent on the uniaxial pressure but joining methods. The n-value of jointed tapes has similar trends with that of the CCR. Especially, double MSM joint showed the highest electrical properties as 63.4-76.0%(CCR) and 3.5-5.1 (n-value). It is considered that the improvements are due to the better inter connections of multifilaments by two single filamentary tapes on both sides.

This paper deals with an efficient superconducting joint method between 2G high superconducting(HTS) wire, YBCO coated conductor(CC). Recently CC is one of the most promising superconducting wire due to high n-value and critical current independency from external magnetic field. It is expected to be used many superconducting application such as fault current limiter, persistent current system and cable etc. In most HTS applications, superconducting magnet is used, and it is necessary to joint between superconducting wire to fabricate superconducting magnet system. A CC tape used in this research consists of copper stabilizer, silver layer, YBCO layer, buffer and substrate. Direct joint using soldering method was inefficient due to resistance of copper, then copper lamination is removed by chemical etching method to reduce resistance between CC tapes. Jointed tapes were fabricated and tested. Transport current through jointed area and induced voltage were measured to characterize the I-V curve. Resistance between CC wire using chemical etching was compared with resistance of direct jointed tapes using soldering method in this paper.

The present article briefly overviews the plan for a new project on joint technology for HTS wires/cables and describes the development plan for the world's highest field NMR magnet, which is a major development item in the project. For full-fledged social implementation of superconducting devices, high temperature superconducting (HTS) wire is a key technology since they can be cooled by liquid nitrogen and they can generate a super-high magnetic field of >>24 T at liquid helium temperatures. However, one of the major drawbacks of the HTS wires is their availability only in short lengths of a single piece of wire. This necessitates a number of joints being installed in superconducting devices, resulting in a difficult manufacturing process and a large joint resistance. In Japan, a large-scale project has commenced, including two technical demonstration items: (i) Development of superconducting joints between HTS wires, which are used in the world's highest field 1.3 GHz (30.5 T) NMR magnet in persistent current mode; the joints performance is evaluated based on NMR spectra for proteins. (ii) Development of ultra-low resistive joints between DC superconducting feeder cables for railway systems. The project starts a new initiative of next generation super-high field NMR development as well as that of realization of better superconducting power cables.

This paper aims to evaluate the feasibility of using no-insulation High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) coil in persistent current mode system. A HTS coil in persistent current mode system usually includes one or more non-superconducting joints in its circuit. And the current decaying rate of the coil is affected by the resistance of joint in persistent current circuit. If the resistance of joint is large, decaying rate of the current drastically increases. Therefore, reducing the joint resistance of the HTS coil is very important in persistent current mode system. In this paper, the no-insulation HTS coil is suggested as a way to reduce the joint resistance with the embedded parallel contact resistance naturally made by no-insulation winding method. Two small coils are fabricated with insulation and no-insulation winding method, and persistent current mode system experiment of each coil is preformed and analyzed.

We evaluated the electrical properties of 37 multifilamentary jointed tapes processed by superconducting joint. In the superconducting joining method. a lap-joint was used. Tapes were selectively etched and exposed superconducting cores of the two tapes were brought into contact with each other and then only the joined region was uniaxially pressed in the range of 1,000 to 2,500 MPa. The current carrying capacity and n-value of the jointed tape were evaluated as a function of uniaxial pressure. The highest current carrying capacity and n-value were obtained to be 58%, 26% for the jointed tape to the tape itself.

Low power superconducting persistent current switch(PCS) for the superconducting magnet systems in the persistent mode was developed and its experimental results were analyzed when the system was charged or discharged. The multifilament NbTi wire with Cu matrix was used for the PCS. The constructed NbTi superconducting switch with superconducting magnet system operated successfully. It also operated on-off switching action with good stabilization. The maximum operating current in persistent mode was 60A (at 1T). In persistent current mode, the decay of the persistent current at 60A was observed. Its decay was 3.55% in 60 min. It is possible to make the persistent current switch with the better decaying of persistent current if some problems for joint resistance are solved.

Some different types of joining between two parallel high Tc superconducting tapes were prepared and I-V characteristic curves were obtained at the atmosphere of liquid nitrogen. Resistances in joint parts were estimated from I-V curves. We selected the best jointing method among these methods and its resistance were obtained at 28K. The availability of this joint method for fabricating HTS field coils is discussed.
