The KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) superconducting magnet system which consists of 16 TF coils and 14 PF coils. The magnet system adopt a superconducting CICC (Cable-In-Conduit Conductor) type. The KSTAR TF CICC uses Nb$_3$Sn superconducting cable with Incoloy 908 conduit. To prepare for TF CICC jacket defect, repair welding of TF CICC is studied. And to confirm join method of TF CICC joint part, the welding method and the joint part design are also discussed.

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.

2G HTS coated conductor wire consists of textured substrate, buffer layer, superconduct layer, Ag cap layer, stabilizer. For practical application filed, coated conductor have mechanical and electrical stability and environment protection properties. This property Cu and stainless steel strip is laminated to Ag cap layer as stabilizer materials. Lamination process join stabilizer material strip and Ag cap layer with soldering method. we have laminated HTS with continuous dipping soldering process different stabilizer Cu and stainless steel strip and changed lamination process condition. The effect of lamination stabilizer and process condition has been investigated mechanical and electrical properties.
