✦ Synopsis

A superconducting joint between Ag/BSCCO tapes has been fabricated by using a combination of etching, pressing and annealing techniques. The joined area, fabricated with a load of 10 ton, showed 80% current carrying capacity of the tapes without join-interface. I¢ of the joined area in the low-field region drops more quickly with magnetic field than the unjoined area. It is considered that the lower magnetic resistivity of Ic and Ic degradation in the joined area resulted from the heterogeneous deformation in the joined area. The joined area was mechanically weak.
