Abstract

Observations were made on the Bi(2223) tapes undergoing uniaxial pressing (up to 5.7 GPa), CIPing (up to 2.5 GPa) and rolling combined with sintering. Tapes were fabricated utilizing drawing and flat rolling. They have shown strong textures for press- and roll-sintering modes of working and have indicated that CIPing improves effectively the core density, but if not accompanied by pre-annealing, it is not able itself to improve the core texturing. The FWHM of the rocking curves was measured to evaluate texturing degree and its dependence on the measurement geometry was emphasized.
