Abstract

Monofilament AgAu sheathed Bi-2223 tapes were fabricated by powder in tube (PIT) process. The influences of cooling rate during the second heat treatment process (HT2) on the phase composition, microstructures and transport properties of Bi-2223/AgAu tapes were investigated. Results show that after the HT2 process, the content of Pb-rich Pb3Sr2.5Bi0.5Ca2CuOy (3321) phase increases with the decreasing cooling rate, while the size of CuO phase particles becomes bigger. With the cooling rate decreasing from 600℃/h by 1℃/h, the critical current density Jc increases from 7 kA/cm2 to the maximum value of 11.5 kA/cm2, which increases by 64%. Meanwhile the current capacities in magnetic field of these Bi-2223/AgAu tapes have also been enhanced with slow cooling process, attributed to the improvements of both the intergrain connectivity and the flux pinning properties.
