JOINED SUPERCONDUCTIVE ARTICLES

摘要

A superconducting article includes a first superconductive segment having a nominal thickness t_n1, a second superconductive segment having a nominal thickness t_n2, and a joint region comprising a splice connecting the first and second superconductive segments together. The splice overlies portions of both the first and second superconductive segments along the joint region, the joint region having a thickness t_jr, wherein t_jr is not greater than at least one of 1.8t_n1 and 1.8t_n2.
