β¦ Synopsis
Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 1 Cu 2 O x (BSCCO-2212) tubes were fabricated by melt and solidification process. BSCCO-2212 powder compact was melted in a resistance furnace using a Pt crucible and poured in a rotating cylindrical mold. The solidified BSCCO-2212 tube samples were heattreated at various temperatures in oxygen atmosphere. The current-voltage curves at 77 K of the samples were obtained by transport measurement, and the microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscope. It was found that the critical current (I c ) of the BSCCO-2212 samples was dependent on the heating schedule regarding the grain growth of the BSCCO-2212 plates and the formation of the second phase.

In this paper, the origin of melt formation during calcination of a stoichiometric Bi:2, Sr:2, Ca:1, Cu:2 mixture o
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 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 m
