L. Martini et al., ELECTRICAL-PROPERTIES OF BI-2223 AG HOT EXTRUDED TAPES - COMPARISON BETWEEN SHORT AND LONG SPECIMENS, Cryogenics, 34, 1994, pp. 797-800
Long Bi-2223/Ag tapes were successfully fabricated by means of hot ext
rusion and repeated cold-rolling and sintering processes. On short pre
ssed tapes, after the third thermomechanical cycle, critical current d
ensities J(c) as high as 36 kA/cm(2) at 77 K and 64 kA/cm(2) at 65 K,
0 T were achieved. On 5 m long tapes J(c) values higher than 10 kA/cm(
2) at 77 K, 0 T were obtained. The I-c uniformity of long tapes was fo
und to be within 10% for all the investigated regions.
