Joint of REBa2Cu3O7-δ Coated Conductors Using Metal Organic Deposition

Publication date: 2016 Source:Physics Procedia, Volume 81 Author(s): K. Hiramatsu, R. Teranishi, K. Yamada, Y. Sato, K. Kaneko Joint techniques connecting REBa2Cu3O7-δ(REBCO) coated conductors (CCs) are required to fabricate long length CCs and to repair locally damaged one. Two pieces of REBCO CC were attempted to be jointed using a metal organic deposition (MOD) method. The starting solution for YBCO layer was coated on GdBCO layer of CCs and calcined to fabricate precursor films, two of which were stuck together in a face to face manner, and then these films were pressurized and crystallized to joint them. Two CCs were successfully jointed together with c-axis oriented YBCO without pores and reacted phases at the joint interface.
