Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of superconducting electrical technology, and in particular to a diffusion connection device for a rare-earth barium copper oxide coated conductor. Background Technology
[0002] Based on rare earth barium copper oxide (REBa2Cu3O) 7-x REBCO (Rare Earth Elements such as Y and Gd) coated conductors (also known as second-generation high-temperature superconducting tapes or REBCO tapes) possess advantages such as high critical transition temperature, strong current carrying capacity, and excellent mechanical properties, making them promising for applications in power, energy, strong magnetic fields, and magnetic levitation transportation. Commercially available REBCO coated conductors are typically in lengths of tens to hundreds of meters. Therefore, in practical applications such as winding magnets and developing cables, it is inevitable to connect the tapes to extend their length.
[0003] REBCO coated conductors are generally composed of a metal alloy base tape, a buffer layer, a REBCO superconducting layer, a silver layer, and a copper layer, sequentially composited. Removing the copper layer from the REBCO tape and directly using the silver layer for diffusion bonding to form a joint can achieve low resistance (<10 nΩ·cm). 2 The silver diffusion joint of the coated conductor requires annealing of the REBCO superconducting layer in oxygen at 350–550°C to maintain its superconducting properties. Therefore, traditional silver diffusion requires temperatures within this range. However, the original silver layer of the coated conductor is not perfectly smooth, making complete bonding difficult within this temperature range. High porosity at the interface leads to high joint resistivity. Therefore, further increasing the temperature (>550°C) can promote softening and full contact of the silver layer to form a complete connection, reducing interface porosity and thus lowering joint resistivity. However, prolonged high-temperature heat treatment will cause the REBCO superconducting layer to lose oxygen, reducing its superconducting properties and consequently lowering the critical current and increasing joint resistance. Therefore, rapid heating and cooling processes are needed to shorten the heat treatment time in the high-temperature region. Existing devices typically have large heat capacities, resulting in slow heating and cooling processes and uneven temperature fields in the heating zone. Further increasing the diffusion heat treatment temperature will cause the REBCO coated conductor to remain in the oxygen-depleted temperature region for an extended period, leading to a decline in joint performance.
[0004] In summary, there is a need for a novel diffusion connection device for REBCO coated conductors that can achieve rapid and precise temperature control, uniform temperature field in the heating area, mitigate the negative impact of high-temperature processes on the superconducting properties of the coated conductors, and reduce joint resistance.

[0011] Preferably, the heat spreader is made of aluminum nitride ceramic material and has a thickness of 1 mm; the heating element is made of nickel-chromium alloy and has a thickness of 0.05–0.1 mm.
[0012] Preferably, the heating element includes a heating zone, a transition zone, and an electrode zone. Each end of the heating zone is connected to an electrode zone through a transition zone. The electrodes include a first electrode and a second electrode arranged symmetrically. The first electrode and the second electrode have a U-shaped structure. The two ends of the U-shaped opening of the first electrode are respectively connected to two electrode zones on the same side of the heating zone, and the two ends of the U-shaped opening of the second electrode are respectively connected to two electrode zones on the other side of the heating zone.
[0013] Preferably, both the first electrode and the second electrode include a U-shaped bottom electrode, and each of the two ends of the U-shaped opening of the bottom electrode is threaded to an upper electrode, and each of the upper electrodes clamps the respective electrode area between the upper electrode and the bottom electrode.

[0017] The present invention achieves the following technical effects compared to the prior art:
[0018] This invention provides a diffusion connection device for rare-earth barium copper oxide coated conductors, enabling silver diffusion connections. The device is compact, incorporating a low-heat-capacity heating element and placing the thermocouple temperature measurement point close to the heating area. This allows for rapid and precise heating and cooling processes, shortening the duration of the high-temperature zone when the heat treatment temperature exceeds the traditional silver diffusion temperature. This mitigates the negative impact of the high-temperature process on the superconducting performance of the rare-earth barium copper oxide coated conductor, reduces joint resistance, and utilizes a thermally conductive ceramic material with extremely high thermal conductivity, resulting in a more uniform temperature field in the heat treatment area.
[0019] Furthermore, the positioning block guides the alignment and overlap of the rare-earth barium copper oxide coated conductors, assisting in the overlapping and fixing of the heating components, making operation more convenient. The heat spreader, being an insulating material, isolates the rare-earth barium copper oxide coated conductors from the heating element's electrical contact. After heat treatment, the conductors are less likely to stick to the heat spreader due to high-temperature diffusion bonding, making it easier to remove the connector. Additionally, the relatively soft texture of the mica plate and nickel sheet allows for more uniform pressure applied to the overlapping area, making it easier to obtain a low-resistivity silver diffusion connector.

A heat-spreading plate 13 is embedded in the heat-insulating cover plate 12, and the heat-spreading plate 13 contacts the heating area 14 of the heating element 11. The electrode 2 is connected to the two heating elements 11 for heating the heating elements 11. A rare earth barium copper oxide coated conductor 15 is placed between the two heating units 9, and the rare earth barium copper oxide coated conductor 15 overlaps.

The heating component 4 can conveniently control the heating of the overlapping area of the rare earth barium copper oxide coated conductor 15. With the heating element 11 of low heat capacity and the thermocouple 7 temperature measuring point close to the heating area, a rapid and accurate heating and cooling process can be achieved.

[0043] In this embodiment, the heat spreader 13 and the heat insulation cover 12 have the same thickness, and the heat insulation base plate 10 has a thickness of 3-5 mm.
[0044] The diffusion connection device using the rare earth barium copper oxide coated conductor of the present invention has the following diffusion connection process:
[0045] Two rare-earth barium copper oxide coated conductors 15 are embedded in the conductor positioning grooves 21 of the positioning block 20 to facilitate the overlap of the ends of the rare-earth barium copper oxide coated conductors 15. Then, the overlapping area is clamped together on both sides by a heat-spreading plate 13, a heat-insulating cover plate 12, a heating plate 11, and a heat-insulating base plate 10 to form a heating assembly 4. At the same time, the endpoint of the thermocouple 7 is inserted and contacts the midpoint of the heat-spreading plate 13. Next, the heating assembly 4 is embedded in the base 3 and fitted together. The cover plate 5 is threaded onto the base 3 through the engagement of the positioning protrusion 23 and the positioning groove 22.

At the same time, the end of the thermocouple 7 is inserted and contacts the midpoint of the heat spreader 13. Next, the heating assembly 4 is embedded into the base 3 and the cover plate 5 is threaded onto the base 3 through the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 23 and the positioning groove 22.

The base 3 and the electrode 2 are installed and fixed to the base plate 1. The electrode area 25 exposed in the heating assembly 4 is clamped by the bottom electrode 28 and the upper electrode 29 and fixed to the base plate 1 with bolts. The pressure block 6 passes through. The through hole 19 applies a pressure of 320 kg to the overlapping area of the corresponding coated conductor in the heating assembly 4. The diffusion connection pressure applied is calculated to be 20 MPa based on the area of the joint. The current lead is fixed and connected to the heating power supply by the threaded hole 30 on the base plate 1, the fixing hole 31 on the bottom electrode 28 and the bolt. The temperature of the heating zone 14 is controlled by connecting the power supply and the thermocouple 7 with a temperature controller. The gas source is connected to the air inlet pipe 18 to introduce oxygen at a flow rate of 200 sccm. The temperature is set to rise to 800°C at 10°C / s and held for 1 min. Then, the temperature is lowered to 450°C at 10°C / s for 2 h of heat treatment. After the heat treatment is completed, the joint is removed after the diffusion connection fixture has cooled to room temperature.
