Claims6
A superconductive article, comprising:
- a first metallic tape having a first superconductive portion and a plurality of integrally formed tabs extending from an inner edge thereof;
- a second metallic tape having a second superconductive portion and a flat edge, wherein said flat edge abuts said inner edge of said first metallic tape and is woven in an alternating over/under pattern between said integrally formed tabs;
- and
- at least one metallurgical bond joining said first tape to said second tape, said at least one metallurgical bond being formed at said inner edge of said first tape, and at said flat edge of said second metallic tape where said flat edge abuts said inner edge and is woven in the alternating over/under pattern between said integrally formed tabs;
- wherein said at least one metallurgical bond electrically interconnects said first superconductive portion with said second superconductive portion.
