Abstract
Abstract The formation and texture of Bi-2223 phase during sintering in high magnetic fields were investigated. Samples contained in silver crucibles were sintered at different temperatures from 835 to 860 °C for 120 h in a vertical tube furnace installed in a solenoid-type superconducting magnet. A vertical magnetic field, H a of 10 T can be applied parallel to the long axis of the furnace. It has been found that the mixed structures of the Bi-2223 and the Bi-2212 grains with their c -axis parallel to the magnetic field are formed in samples sintered at 850–855 °C in 10 T magnetic field. Below 845 °C sintering in 10 T, a high proportion of Bi-2223 phase is obtained, however no preferred orientation is observed. It is suggested that a liquid phase is important for the formation of the textured structure in magnetic fields.
