  • Publication number: 20220246329
    Abstract: Proposed is a high temperature superconducting wire manufacturing method and a high temperature superconducting wire having multiple superconducting layers formed by applying the method. The method includes a stacking process in which a pair of protective layers of superconducting wires including a substrate, a superconducting layer, and the protective layer are stacked such that the protective layers face each other, a joining process in which the protective layers facing each other are diffusion joining together by thermal treatment and become a joining protective layer, an exfoliating process in which a layered structure of an upper portion of the corresponding superconducting layer is removed such that one side of the superconducting layer is exposed to the outside, and an outermost protective layer forming process in which an outer protective layer formed of the same material as the joining protective layer is formed on the upper portion of the exposed superconducting layer.
