Abstract

Sumitomo Electric has been developing the silver-sheathed Bi2223 multi-filamentary wires since the discovery of Bi-based superconductors. DI-BSCCO (Dynamically-Innovative BSCCO) is the high performance wires produced with the controlled-overpressure (CT-OP) sintering technique. The recent R&D activities have enabled to produce the 1000m-long wires with Ic of 200A and the maximum Ic reached 250A at 77K by short sample. Besides, the fine control of the carrier density with the non-stoichiometric oxygen enhanced the in-field Ic performances at lower temperature. At a magnetic field of 3T applied normal to wire surface, the Ic of 280A at 30K, and 420A at 20K were successfully achieved. To meet the growing needs for various high temperature superconducting applications, Type HT wire with high mechanical strength and Type G wire with low thermal conductivity have been developed.
