Abstract
A superconducting article includes a first superconductive segment having a nominal thickness tn1, a second superconductive segment having a nominal thickness tn2, and a joint region comprising a splice connecting the first and second superconductive segments together. The splice overlies portions of both the first and second superconductive segments along the joint region, the joint region having a thickness tjr, wherein tjr is not greater than at least one of 1.8 tn1 and 1.8 tn2.
Claims19
A superconducting article, comprising:
- a first superconductive segment having a nominal thickness tn1;
- a second superconductive segment having a nominal thickness tn2;
- and
- a joint region comprising a splice connecting the first and second superconductive segments together, the splice overlying portions of both the first and second superconductive segments along the joint region, the joint region having a thickness tjr, wherein tjr is not greater than at least one of 1.8 tn1 and 1.8 tn2.
A superconducting article, comprising:
- a first superconductive segment having a first segment end portion, the first superconductive segment having a nominal thickness tn1 and the first segment end portion having reduced thickness tr1 that is less than tn1;
- a second superconductive segment having a second segment end portion, the second superconductive segment having a nominal thickness tn2 and the second segment end portion having reduced thickness tr2 that is less than tn2, wherein the first and second end portions are bonded together at a joint region, the joint region having a thickness tjr that is not greater than at least one of 1.8 tn1 and 1.8 tn2, wherein the joint region comprises a splice connecting the first and second superconductive segments together, the splice overlying the first and second segment end portions.
A superconducting article, comprising:
- a first superconductive conductor having a nominal thickness tn1;
- and
- a second superconductive conductor overlying the first conductor along a joint region, the joint region having a thickness not greater than 1.8 tn1.
