In this study, we have applied the Pre-Anneal and Intermediate Rolling (PAI
R) process to Ag-sheathed mono-core Bi-2212 tapes. Initial results show tha
t increasing the percent reduction decreased the amount of 14:24 AEC and Cu
-free particles while increasing the amount of the Bi-2201 phase. However,
grain alignment was adversely affected by sausaging in tapes with the highe
st percent reduction.
