【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は超電導導体の製作方法に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a superconducting conductor.
一般に超電導コイルでは、有限長の超電導導体
を組合せて製作することから、超電導導体相互を
電気的に接続する必要がある。 Generally, superconducting coils are manufactured by combining superconducting conductors of finite length, so it is necessary to electrically connect the superconducting conductors to each other.

導特性を劣化させるという欠点を有している。 The method of connecting such superconducting conductors is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.
As shown in the figure. FIG. 1 shows a method in which superconducting conductors 1 are stacked on top of each other and connected by, for example, solder.
FIG. 2 shows a method in which superconducting conductors 1 are butted against each other, superconducting conductors 1' are arranged like splints, and the superconducting conductors 1' are connected by, for example, soldering. The connection methods shown in Figures 1 and 2 have the advantage that the connection process is simple, but on the other hand, there is a geometric disorder in which the overlapping portion protrudes, which disturbs the winding of the superconducting coil. This method has the drawback of complicating the manufacturing process of the superconducting coil and, in turn, deteriorating the performance of the superconducting coil. An example of a connection method that improves this drawback is the method shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 shows a method in which the ends of the superconducting conductors 1 to be connected are cut diagonally, the ends are brought into close contact with each other, and the connections are made by, for example, soldering. By the way, at the connection portion of the superconducting conductor 1, the Joule heat generated due to the presence of electrical connection resistance has an adverse effect on the performance of the superconducting coil. The connection resistance is inversely proportional to the area of the connection interface 2,
It is known that the thickness of the connection interface 2 is proportional to the thickness of the connection interface 2. Therefore, in the conventional example shown in FIG. 3, the connection end is cut diagonally at an angle as gentle as possible to increase the area of the connection interface 2. Attention is paid to
However, there are limitations from an engineering standpoint, and the disadvantage is that the connection resistance is greater than the method shown in FIG. 1 or 2. In Fig. 4, the area of the connection interface 2 is the same as the cross-sectional area of the superconducting conductor 1. For example, in the case of solder connection, it is not possible to reduce the connection resistance, and it is not possible to increase the mechanical strength. Can not. For this reason, a method of connecting by pressure welding is used, but in this case,
Since no solder is used, a small connection resistance can be obtained, but it has the disadvantage that the thermal effect caused by welding deteriorates the superconducting properties of the superconducting wire used in the superconducting conductor 1.

The intended purpose is achieved by decreasing the cross section of the superconductor near the connecting portion and making the cross-sectional size of the connecting portion approximately the same as that of the superconducting conductor.

つてから拡散熱処理を行なうことが要求される。 Further, in the above embodiment, the superconducting conductors 1 to be connected have the same cross-sectional size, but superconducting conductors 1 having different cross-sectional sizes can also be connected. Furthermore, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, it is more effective to perform heat treatment after reducing the cross section of the connecting portion. That is, the cross section of the connecting portion is greatly reduced, and the copper base material serving as the stabilizing base material undergoes work hardening, resulting in an increase in electrical resistivity. Since the stabilizing base material is required to have a low electrical resistivity, an increase in the electrical resistivity is undesirable. Annealing heat treatment is effective in reducing the electrical resistivity of the copper base material. In the above description, an ultrafine multifilamentary wire made of a Nb-Ti alloy superconductor was used, but the manufacturing method of the present invention is also effective for an ultrafine multifilamentary wire made of a compound superconductor such as Nb 3 Sn. An ultrafine multifilamentary wire made of a compound-based superconductor can be explained using Nb 3 Sn as an example.
embed the filament in Cu-Sn bronze,
Create a composite embedded in a copper matrix, which is a stabilizing base material, through a diffusion barrier, and heat this composite at 600-800℃.
It can be obtained by performing diffusion heat treatment at a temperature of 100 mL to form a Nb 3 Sn compound around the Nb filament. Since Nb 3 Sn compounds have mechanically weak properties unique to intermetallic compounds, when performing the manufacturing method of the present invention, the combined structure of the connection parts is formed at the time of the composite before diffusion heat treatment, and the cross-sectional area is reduced. It is required to perform the diffusion heat treatment after the above.
