Abstract
A method of connecting a high critical temperature superconductive ceramic part and a low critical temperature superconductor such as a multifilament strand of niobium-titanium, in which method a silver contact is prepared on said ceramic part, wherein said multifilament strand is soldered to said contact using an intermediate solder material whose melting temperature is less than 300.degree. C.
Claims2
A method of connecting a high critical temperature superconductive ceramic part and a low critical temperature superconductor strand of niobium-titanium, said method comprising preparing a silver contact on said ceramic part as a ring on the outer surface of said ceramic part, soldering one end of said strand to said silver contact using an intermediate soldering material chosen from the group consisting of lead-tin alloys, silver alloys, cadmium alloys and WOOD's metal
A method of connecting a high critical temperature superconductive ceramic part and a low critical temperature superconductor constituting a multi-filament strand made of niobium titanium, said method comprising:
- forming a silver lining contact in a hole in said ceramic part,
- cutting one end of said strand obliquely and inserting said cut end of said strand in said hole, and
- soldering said inserted cut end of said strand to said silver contact using WOOD's metal.
