Thermomechanical processing of Ag-clad Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox superconductors

  • 1. Argonne National Lab., IL (United States)

Description

Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox (2212) powders were synthesized by solid-state reaction, loaded into Ag tubes, and processed into tapes by various combinations of drawing, rolling, and heat treatment. Critical current densities > 105 A/cm2 at 4.2 K were achieved from microstructures consisting of large, highly textured 2212 grains. Optimal microstructures were produced by specific mechanical-working conditions and heat-treatment schedules that incorporated solid state and partial-melt sintering. The relationships between processing, microstructure, and critical current density will be discussed
