            Abstract : 
We have fabricated monocore superconducting tapes of KxFe2-y(Se1-zSz)2 using a process based on a chemical phase transformation from 112-type KFe(Se1-zSz)2 (nonsuperconducting) to 122-type KxFe2-y(Se1-zSz)2 (superconducting) via a supply of Fe from the Fe sheath by annealing. Transformation of tape core from the 112 type to the 122 type was observed at the annealing temperature above 600°C. The obtained superconducting tape showed superconductivity at 29.1 K. The magnetic Jc of 1.6 × 102 A/cm2 (at 4.2 K and self-field) was obtained for the sample annealed at 625°C for 5 h followed by quenching.
