Description

High temperature ZrO2 based coatings were deposited on Ag and Ag/AgMg sheathed Bi-2212 tapes from solutions derived from alkoxide-based precursors using a reel-to-reel, continuous sol-gel technique. The insulation coatings were annealed at 850 deg. C for 20 hours under O2 flow. The surface morphology and structure of coatings were characterized by SEM and XRD. High voltage breakdown of insulation on tapes was measured by a standard high voltage breakdown power supply. It has been found that high voltage breakdown values of these insulations strongly depend on number of dipping, thickness, coating type, annealing conditions, and dopant content in ZrO2. 20% Y2O3-ZrO2 coatings showed the best high voltage breakdown value, 2.05 kV at 1.5 mA
