Abstract

This paper considers the dependence of critical current density on microstructure in Ag sheathed Ba 2YCu 3O 6+x tapes. The critical current density increased with decreasing tape thickness when the Ag sheathed tapes were prepared by either pressing or cold rolling techniques. The improvement in critical current density was attributed to structural refinements such as textured grain structure and high increase in density. Pressing was found to be a more effective technique than cold rolling. The dependence of critical current density on tape thickness has been tentatively explained in terms of either surface pinning or grain boundary pinning.
