Ag-sheathed (Bi,Pb)(2)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 tapes have been developed with a special
filament configuration that could be of great interest when a magnetic fie
ld is applied to the tape at a significant angle with respect to the a-b pl
anes of the superconductor. The fabrication process we propose allows the p
reparation of multifilamentary samples in which the filaments are inclined
with respect to the tape plane. Such tapes could be used in the outer parts
of high field superconducting magnets, where the flux lines present large
angles with respect to the plane of the conductor.
