The effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and critical current of the Bi-2223/Ag/Ni tapes were studied. The phase compositions of the samples were characterized using XRD. The microstructure was observed using SEM. Experimental results indicate that higher temperature is more conducive to the formation of Bi-2223 phase at an atmosphere of 8.5% O 2 . After the two-step heat treatment, the critical current of samples is about 67.5 A.展开更多

By combination of quenching experiment with X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the effect of cooling rate on the evolution of three superconducting phases in the (Bi,Pb)-2223 core of Ag-sheathed tape was investigated. The results show that (Bi,Pb)-2223 reformation from the melt seems to experience different routes during slowly cooling at different rates. One is that (Bi,Pb)-2223 phase reformed directly from the melt, and no Bi-2212 participate in this process. The other is that (Bi,Pb)-2223 is converted from the intermediate product, Bi-2212, which formed from the melt during the first cooling stage. Due to the inherent sluggish formation kinetics of (Bi,Pb)-2223 from Bi-2212, only partial (Bi,Pb)-2223 can finally be reformed with the second route.展开更多

Three types of joints, namely, with sih,er interlayer （type Ⅰ）, bonded directly （type Ⅱ）, with Bi-2212 （BizSr2Ca1 Cu2Ox ） powder interlayer or with Bi-2223 powder interlayer （type Ⅲ） were researched, respectively. The critical currents（ Ic ） of these joints were measured ond microstructures of the joints were evaluated by scanning electron microscope （SEM）. The result shows that type Ⅰ is non-superconducting joint with very low resistance, and type Ⅱ joint and type Ⅲ （with Bi-2212 or Bi-2223 ） joints are both of superconducting property. By comparing, type Ⅱ joint possesses most exceUent superconductivity, type Ⅲ joint with Bi-2223 powder interlayer takes the second place, and type ,任家烈 joint with Bi-2212 powder interlayer is least.展开更多

Longer time annealing degraded the reactivity of precursor powder, which in turn resulted in an incomplete conversion from precursors to Bi-2223, porosity core and misaligned grains in fully processed tapes. The best Jc in short pressed samples varied from 29.7 to 47kA/cm2 for the tapes made from different powders.展开更多

Bi-2223 tapes were manufactured by powder-in-tube process with an IMD. Normal rolling （NR）, pressing （P） and sandwich rolling （SR） with different reduction rate were used in the IMD. And there were an optimum reduction rate existing for the three MID techniques, at which critical current reached maximum. Critical current densities Jc of Bi-2223 crystals were measured with an applied magnetic field B respectively parallel to ab face and c axis. Relations of Jc dependences of reduction rate and superconducting materials density D were respectively studied and showed a Gaussian distribution law. Maximum pinning force density Fmax and irreversible magnetic field Birr were introduced to describe the effects of mechanical processing. Analysis of experimental results showed that Jcs Fmax and Birr were linear dependence on D. Obviously, increasing D was a vital way to enhance Jc Bending experiments were performed for SR tapes sheathed by Ag and Ag/Sb and Ag/Mg alloy, respectively. Silver alloy sheathed tapes showed better bending properties than pure silver sheathed one. Therefore, silver alloy sheathed, optimum reduction rate of IMD, and increasing D for Bi-2223 tapes＇ applications were important technical strategies to enhance their mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties.展开更多
