We evaluated the electrical properties of 37 multifilamentary jointed tapes processed by superconducting joint. In the superconducting joining method, a lap-joint was used. Tapes were selectively etched, and exposed superconducting cores of the two tapes were brought into contact with each other and then only the joined region was uniaxially pressed in the range of 1,000 to 2,50 MPa. The critical current ratio(CCR) and n-value of the jointed tape were evaluated as a function of uniaxial pressure and number of step in the contacting region. It was observed that the CCR was dependent on the number of step, but almost independent of uniaxial pressure. The highest critical current ratio and n-value were obtained to be 58% and 26%, respectively, for the jointed tape to the tape itself.

Critical current ratio and n-value of Bi(2223)/Ag superconducting joint tape were measured as a function of uniaxial pressure. In the superconducting joint method, MM and MSM joint were used ; MM joint is direct connection of two -multi filamentary tapes, and MSM is connection of them by using a single -filamentary tape. It was observed that the critical current ratio(CCR) for jointed tapes was not dependent on the uniaxial pressure but joining methods. The n-value of jointed tapes has similar trends with that of the CCR. Especially, double MSM joint showed the highest electrical properties as 63.4-76.0%(CCR) and 3.5-5.1 (n-value). It is considered that the improvements are due to the better inter connections of multifilaments by two single filamentary tapes on both sides.

We jointed Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O multifilament tapes and evaluated their electrical and mechanical properties. In order to improve connectivity of multifilaments, one or two single-filament tape was inserted between two multifilament tapes. The critical current ratio(CCR) and n-value of the jointed tapes were evaluated as a function of uniaxial pressure. It was observed that critical current ratio and n-value were 24.8-29.0% and 2.5-2.8 for MM lap-jointed tape. On the other hand, the corresponding values were improved to 24.7-53.9% and 3.1-4.2 for MSM jointed tape, and 63.4-76.0% and 3.4-5.1 for double MS:vr lap-jointed tape, respectively. The highest electrical properties of double MSM lap-jointed tape are considered to be owing to the presence of single core, causing better interconnections of multifilaments between the two tapes. The mechanical property of jointed tape was evaluated and correlated to the microstructural evolution. The strength of jointed tapes was 44-64% less than that of the unjoined tape. The strain tolerance of jointed tape was also reduced compared to that of the unjoined tape. These lower mechanical properties of jointed tape are probably due to the induced nonuniform microstructure such as the existence of cracks and Ag-intrusion in the joined region.

We jointed Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O multifilament tapes and evaluated their electrical properties. In order to improve connectivity of multifilarnents, single-filament tape was inserted between two multifilament tapes or multifilament was stepped by mechanical remove. The critical current ratio (CCR) and n-value of the jointed tapes were evaluated as a function of uniaxial pressure. It was observed that CCR and n-value were 24.8-29.0% and 2.5-2.8 for lap-jointed tape. On the other hand, the corresponding values were improved to 51.8-61.9% and 2.9-5.1 for three stepped jointed tape, and 63.4-67.9% and 3.4-4.2 for double MSM lap-jointed tape, respectively. These improvements are to be due to better interconnection between filaments of two tapes.
