Abstract

Various different types of joining between High Tc superconducting(HTS) tapes were prepared and current-voltage(I-V) characteristic curves were investigated at 77 K, liquid nitrogen temperature. Two typos of HTS tapes wore used, one is no laminated tape(Sumitomo high strength type tape) and the other stainless steel laminated tape(AMSC(American Superconductors Inc.) 3ply tapes) Sample joints were lap-jointed with indium or solder. Joint resistances between Sumitomo tapes with 4-10 mm in length were estimated from I-V curves and in the range of $4-8n{\Omega}$ at 77 K. Joint resistances of AMSC tapes were in the range of $140-170n{\Omega}$, much higher than them of Sumitomo samples. The n-values of jointed HTS tapes were 50% of them with no joint. In AMSC tapes, indium is better than solder as the jointing material.
