Abstract

The effect of the initial BSCCO 2212 grain size on the final gain size and the formation of the BSCCO 2223 was studied using a powder precursor synthesized by two-powder method. 2212 and CaCuO$_2$ tapes were prepared by dip coating and joined by pressing and then followed by the repeated thermo mechanical treatment. The samples were characterized by XRD and SEM analysis. The formation and grain size of the BSCCO 2223 depended on the initial BSCCO 2212 grain size.
