β¦ Synopsis
The combination of a bismuth high T c phase (T c = 110 K) and powder-in-tube processing technology enables the fabrication of superconducting wires with high critical current density, mass producibility and flexibility. The maximum critical current density in liquid nitrogen reached 53 700 A cm-2 in zero magnetic field, 42 300 A cm-2 at 0.1 T and 12 000 A cm-2 at 1 T. Jc and Jo-B enhancements were obtained with finely dispersed non-superconducting phases and clean grain boundaries. Various prototypes were made to clarify their feasibility, such as 114 m long wires (Jc = 10 000 A cm 2 at 77.3 K), large current conductors (1~ = 2300 A at 77.3 K), a 0.21 T coil at 77.3 K, a 20.35 T coil at 20.3 K and a 23.37 T coil at 4.2 K.

A method of making joints between superconducting multifilamentary wires has been developed in connexion with the construction of a 7 T nmr magnet. Test results indicate that they have acceptably low resistances and carry sufficient currents.
Using the power-in-tube technique superconducting monocore and multicore wires (up to 2527 cores) have been produced with different diameters (down to 0.1 mm) and a length of several hundred metres. These wires show critical current densities of = 13 500 A cm-2 in zero magnetic field and 6000 A cm -
