Due to the highly anisotropic properties of BSCCO superconductors, the
bulk properties of these materials can be greatly affected by prefere
ntial orientation. Substantial c-axis orientation normal to the desire
d direction of current flow has been demonstrated by centrifugally sli
p casting lead-doped BSCCO-2223. The strong preferred orientation deve
loped in the centrifugally slip-cast material demonstrates high critic
al current potential.
