  • Electroplating process for connectorizing superconducting cables
    Patent number: 11996212
    Abstract: An example method for connectorizing a superconducting cable is described herein. The method can include depositing an oxide layer on a surface of a superconducting cable using a first electrolytic cell, electroplating a metal layer on the surface of the oxide layer of the superconducting cable using a second electrolytic cell, and soldering a connector to the metal layer coated on the surface of the superconducting cable. The oxide layer allows the metal layer to adhere to the surface of the superconducting cable.
    Type: Grant
