Zusammenfassung:A unique class of bonding alloys and methods for their use are provided which enable the user to electrically join superconductive materials to themselves, to normal conductive materials, or to semi-conductors. The bonding alloys have enhanced wetting properties and a melting point less than 100 DEG C. in all instances. The bonding alloys are unusual and advantageous in that they create an intimate, direct, mechanical and electrical contact between the superconductive material and any other electrical conductor while minimizing mechanical and chemical stresses and avoiding alterations to the superconductive material itself.
