Soldering studies of an aluminum stabilized superconductor

Soldering experiments are performed to determine a good solder composition and the best method of joining pure aluminum to multifilamentary NbTi superconductor wire. Solders containing Zn are found to severely embrittle aluminum during the soldering operation. Standard Sn40Pb and Sn50In solders as well as pure Sn, Bi, and Pb are not found to be embrittling. Of the methods tried for joining short lengths of composite wire, bath soldering is found to be more effective than joining electroplated aluminum. Ultrasonics holds promise for adaptation to the bath method.
