The development and application of second generation high temperature superconducting
(2G-HTS) tapes have attracted much attention in China recently. Progress in upscaling high …

Due to the limited available piece length of YBCO-coated conductors (ie tapes or wires) and
the different requirements for magnetic field, joints are inevitable for manufacturing high …

Constrained by the fabrication of second-generation high-temperature superconducting (2G
HTS) tapes, connecting multiple pieces of tapes through joints is often necessary in large …

Manufacturing a single long-length rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) coated
conductor (CC) tape with uniform critical current (I c) is still a challenge; therefore, joining …

In this study, three-dimensional (3-D) numerical models of resistive joints for ReBCO coated
conductors are established in the commercial finite element analysis software COMSOL …

An effective soldering process of second-generation coated conductors (CCs) with low joint
resistance was presented by using home-made equipment in the present study. The benefit …

We have developed a thermo-compression soldering appliance for joining rare-earth barium
copper oxide (REBCO) tapes with excellent control of process temperature and pressure …

As the second generation high temperature superconducting (HTS) tape enters the stage of
commercialization and mass production, it has been successfully applied in several power …

Given the limited length of ReBCO coated conductors (CCs), a large number of joints is
necessary in high-temperature superconducting (HTS) applications. The quality of joints …

The most popular method of reducing joint resistance R j is by increasing overlap length l. A
numerical model capable of simulating the relationship between joint resistance and overlap …
