Claim 18:
19. A method for filling an HTS cable comprising an HTS tape with a molten metal, the method comprising:
heating a bent HTS cable assembly until the bent HTS cable assembly is heated to a first temperature;
heating the bent HTS cable assembly to a second temperature, higher than the first temperature, that allows a molten metal to flow through the bent HTS cable assembly;
wherein heating the bent HTS cable assembly to a first temperature and heating the bent HTS cable assembly to a second temperature comprises heating at least portions of the HTS cable using a time-temperature exposure profile that does not degrade HTS tape characteristics by more than 5%; and
applying pressure to a molten metal to direct the molten metal into the bent HTS cable assembly.
