Abstract
A process for joining ceramic superconductor fibers with a channel to fabricate a superconductor wire includes feeding the fibers into the channel and continuously dispensing a flowable solder paste into the channel over the fibers. The combination of channel, fibers and solder paste is then subjected to a rapid rise in temperature which sequentially activates the flux in the solder paste and then melts the solder. After the workpiece is cooled and the separated flux has been removed, a superconductor wire has been fabricated.
