Using the floating zone melting technique Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O8+delta sa
mples were prepared. The variation of pulling rate gives the possibili
ty to change the grain size and texture of the sample. The critical cu
rrent density j(c) dependences on magnetic field and temperature have
been studied. It was found that for large magnetic fields the j(c) val
ue is highly dependent on the magnetic field sweep rate dH/dt. The uni
versal scaling behavior j(c)(H, dH/dt, T) has been observed.
