Adopt high-temperature superconductive power cable can realize low-loss, large capacity transmission, reduce operating cost greatly, application prospect is very good.The country of each advanced technology is all carrying out relevant research and development unexpectedly mutually, and wherein, the welding of high-temperature superconductive power cable is one of key technology of research and development.
High-temperature superconductive power cable (being referred to as cable during hereafter) is formed by the coiling of many superconduction bands.Major requirement to the cable connector welding is:
(1) resistance value of cable welding point is as much as possible little, and the thermal losses of cable connector improves the stability of cable operation when moving to reduce, and the resistance value of cable connector generally requires less than 1 μ Ω.
(2) welding temperature will be controlled at below 160 ℃, in order to avoid destroy the electric conductivity of superconductor.
(3) easy, reliable, the easy enforcement of welding operation.
Solder is the lower welding method of welding temperature, and it is to utilize eutectic solder and weldment to heat together, soaks into and fill up the gap of weldment junction behind the solder fusing, forms firm combination.Yet existing solder technology comprises that needed scolder of welding and welding technique all can not satisfy the welding requirements of high-temperature superconductive power cable joint.The subject matter that exists is: the fusing point of commercially available scolder generally all is higher than 180 ℃, and the resistance of welding point is also bigger, and superconductor welds under high like this temperature and will cause its electric conductivity to descend.Big, the poor stability of thermal losses when welding point resistance greatly then moves.Therefore the welding requirements that needs new scolder of research and development and solder technology to satisfy high-temperature superconductive cable.
