Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
The increasing use of 2nd generation high temperature superconductors (2G HTSs) and invention of
resistance-free joining on 2G HTSs have created the need for this International Standard in order to
ensure that joining is carried out in the most effective way and that appropriate control is exercised
over all aspects of the operation. ISO standards for micro-joining and joint evaluation procedure are
accordingly essential to get the best and uniform quality of 2G HTS joint.
Superconductor is a material that conducts electricity without resistance and has diamagnetism below
critical temperature (T ), critical magnetic field (B ) and critical current density (J ). Once set in motion,
c c c
electrical current flows forever in a closed loop of superconducting material under diamagnetism.
2G HTS constitutes of multi-layers and total thickness is around 60 to 90 μm and the superconducting
layer made from REBa Cu O is only 1 μm to 3 μm thick depending on manufacturer’s specifications.

However, this standard focuses on the direct autogenous joining of 1 μm to 3 μm thick superconducting
layers of 2G HTSs as shown in Figure 3 without filler metals and recovery of superconducting properties
by oxygenation annealing process, which shows almost none electrical resistance at the joint.

The parts of this International Standard are listed in the foreword.
Part 1 specifies requirements for the qualification of 2G HTS joining procedure. 2G HTS joints should
be capable of performing required electric, magnetic and mechanical properties and free from serious
imperfections in production and in service. To achieve that goal, it is necessary to provide controls
during design and fabrication.
Part 2 specifies requirements for the qualification of personnel performing welding and testing.
Part 3 specifies test methods for determining the capability of joints for the production of the specified
quality. It defines specific test requirements, but does not assign those requirements to any specific
product group.
