โฆ Synopsis
The effect of partial cracking on critical current density (J,) has been modelled for Agsheathed superconductor tapes. Effects of crack length and density on current-voltage characteristics and J, were evaluated for monofilament and multifilament tapes. The results show that a single long crack is more harmful than numerous small cracks. Multiple small partial cracks (less than 20% of core dimension) can be present in the Bi,Sr, (BSCCO) before J, degradation is observed. In general, a multifilament tape can withstand cracks better than a monofilament tape.

BSCCO-2223 tapes have been produced by the 'powder-in-tube' method with reproducible critical current densities of > 1 x 104 A cm-2 at 77 K and 5 x 104 A cm-2 at 4.2 K. Superconductivity at 77 K was retained in fields of up to 7 T. The influence of mechanical treatments (e.g. drawing, rolling and pr
The fabrication of long silver-sheathed oxide superconducting tapes by the powder-intube technique tends to lead to non-uniformity in the core thickness during mechanical deformation and densification. This non-uniformity restricts current flow and reduces the critical current density. Using a simpl
