Connection of lkHTSC with routine conductors

Consideration is given to results of developing technique for preparation of joints in YBa2Cu3O7-x massive ceramics, using standard welding and soldering equipment without surface treatment after deformation of superconductor structure. It is shown that acceptable contact electric resistance of joints can be provided by the the following ways: 1) applying of silver paste on superconductor surface with successive penetration of organic binder and current lead soldering; 2) resistance spot welding with silvered copper wire
