Abstract
The powder-in-tube process has been used to fabricate long lengths of flexible, high-Jc, silver-clad Bi-2223 HTS conductors. By improving thermomechanical processing and precursor powder preparation, we have succeeded in achieving Jc values of≥4×104 A/cm2 at liquid nitrogen (77K) temperature and >105 A/cm2 at liquid helium (4.2K) and liquid neon (27K) temperatures in short tape samples. Detailed measurements with high applied magnetic fields are reported. Several long tapes up to 10 m in length have also been fabricated and cowound into small superconducting pancake coils by the “wind-and react” approach. Transport measurements at 77 and 4.2K for these coils are also reported.
