Abstract

The effect of twisting on the microstructure and AC losses of Bi-2223 superconductor tape has been evaluated. Twisting pitches of the tapes are in the range of 12~60 mm and uniformly deformed. The critical current of the tapes was measured to decreased with decreased pitch. This reduction is believed to be due to the irregular interface, poor grain alignment. In addition, AC losses of the tape reduced as the pitch decreased probably due to combined effects of lower critical current and electrically decoupled filament of twisted tape.
