Abstract
A method of forming a superconducting joint between the Nb.sub.3 Sn layer of a superconducting tape and a superconducting NbTi wire through use of a Pb-Bi bath, joint securing arrangement and mold around the joint.
Claims20
A method of forming superconducting joints for use in superconducting magnets between an Nb.sub.3 Sn superconductor tape NbTi superconductor wire comprising;
- positioning said Nb.sub.3 Sn superconductor tape into contact with said NbTi superconductor wire to form a contact area;
- applying molten Pb-Bi to coat said contact area;
- and
- allowing said coating to cool.
