Abstract
Dense (Bi, Pb)2 Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox bars were fabricated by sinter forging. Th e bars were highly phase-pure and exhibited strong textures in which t he c axes of the platelike grains were preferentially aligned parallel to the pressing direction. Transport critical current densities incre ased with texture, reaching a maximum of 8 x 10(3) A cm-2 at 77 K in a self-field. Optimal processing in air occurred at 845-850-degrees-C.
