A Superconducting Joint Technique for Round Wires

This paper describes a technique to superconductively splice multifilament MgB 2 wires. To date the technique has achieved joints capable of carrying a superconducting current of 200 A at 10 K in self field. Joints details, as well as testing methods and results are presented here.
