Provided are a jet solder bath and a jet soldering apparatus using the jet solder bath. The jet solder bath contains first and second jet nozzles which inject molten solder by first and second pumps and a bridge member arranged between the first and second jet nozzles. The bridge member includes a guide portion that guides at least one of flows of the molten solder injected from the first jet nozzle and flowing on the downstream side of the first jet nozzle and of the molten solder injected from the second jet nozzle and flowing on an upstream side of the second jet nozzle, and side members which controls the flow of the molten solder, the side members being arranged near opposite ends of the guide portion across a direction that is perpendicular to the carrying direction of the substrate.

A method for fabricating a lamination structure of a second-generation high-temperature superconducting (2G-HTS) tape is provided. Suitable lamination tapes are selected and subjected to local oxidation on side to form a locally oxidized region having a target pattern. The lamination tapes and a to-be-laminated 2G-HTS tape are sequentially arranged, where the locally-oxidized side of each of the lamination tapes faces toward the 2G-HTS tape. The lamination tapes and the to-be-laminated 2G-HTS tape are simultaneously immersed in a molten solder pool, and subjected to reel-to-reel squeezing lamination to form the desired lamination structure. A lamination structure fabricated by the method is also provided.

In the flux applying device, a control portion controls conveying rollers or the like so that thickness of flux applied to solder is controlled. The winding roller rotates so that the solder is conveyed at the conveying speed. The drawing-out roller applies any load (back tension) to the solder backward along the conveying direction of the solder when drawing out the solder. The solder is conveyed at the predetermined speed and dipped into the flux tank containing flux. The solder is pulled up from the flux tank at the conveying speed vertically. By pulling up the solder from the flux tank at the constant conveying speed vertically, the interfacial tension acts on the solder 9a and the flux, so that the flux having a uniform thickness according to the conveying speed remains on the surface and back surface of the solder.
