Abstract

Silver-sheathed Bi-2223 multi-filamentary tapes using controlled-overpressure sintering have attained the highest critical current of 200 A-class at 77 K, self field. The 200 A-class Bi-2223 tape has been evaluated on the critical currents at various temperatures from 4.2 K to 90 K and magnetic fields up to 12 T applied perpendicularly to the tape plane. The critical currents are 500 A at 4.2 K, 5 T, 370 A at 20 K, 3 T and 200 A at 20 K, 10 T typically. This is an improvement by a factor of 1.3-1.5 compared to current commercial tapes produced using controlled-overpressure sintering.
