More Information
Summary:A superconducting wire connector includes superconducting wires and a sintered body containing MgB2. The superconducting wires are connected by the sintered body. At least one of the superconducting wires includes a superconducting core having a first outer surface. The sintered body is in contact with the first outer surface. A method of connecting superconducting wires by a sintered body containing MgB2 includes exposing a superconducting core of at least one of the superconducting wires by removing a portion, positioned in the middle in a longitudinal direction of the at least one of the superconducting wires, of a metal sheath disposed around the superconducting core, disposing the at least one of the superconducting wires through a container, filling the container with a raw material of MgB2, and forming the sintered body being in contact with an outer surface of the superconducting core by sintering the raw material filled in the container.
