Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wire splicing method including: disposing an end portion of a tape-like first wire and an end portion of a tape-like second wire in a holding base in an overlapping manner with solder interposed therebetween, pressing a heating body to the first wire and the second wire via a pressing plate, and pressing together and heating the first wire and the second wire so as to melt the solder; keeping the first wire and the second wire pressed together by the pressing plate; separating the heating body from the pressing plate; and cooling the pressing plate to solidify the solder, and thereby connecting the first wire and the second wire together.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wire splicing method comprising: disposing an end portion of a tape-like first wire and an end portion of a tape-like second wire in a holding base in an overlapping manner with solder interposed therebetween, pressing a heating body to the first wire and the second wire via a pressing plate, and pressing together and heating the first wire and the second wire so as to melt the solder; keeping the first wire and the second wire pressed together by the pressing plate; separating the heating body from the pressing plate; and cooling the pressing plate to solidify the solder, and thereby connecting the first wire and the second wire together. 2. The wire splicing method according to claim 1 , wherein the first wire and the second wire are superconducting wires. 3. A method for manufacturing a splice structure comprising: disposing an end portion of a tape-like first wire and an end portion of a tape-like second wire in a holding base in an overlapping manner with solder interposed therebetween; pressing a heating body to the first wire and the second wire via a pressing plate, and pressing together and heating the first wire and the second wire so as to melt the solder; keeping the first wire and the second wire pressed together by the pressing plate, separating the heating body from the pressing plate; and cooling the pressing plate to solidify the solder, and thereby connecting the first wire and the second wire together. 4. The method for manufacturing a splice structure according to claim 3 , wherein the first wire and the second wire are superconducting wires.
