Abstract
High-temperature superconduction materials(Bi2223) possess electrical/electronic and magnetic properties. Because high-temperature superconduction materials is a ceramic powder, that cannot be produced singlehandedly. So Ag sheathed Bi-2223 wire was produced by drawing process using powder-in-tube(PIT) method. This superconductor has many difficulties to produce. The main difficulty is that the mechanical properties of the ceramic powder are very different from those of the Ag sheath. And by these properties, Bi2223 high-temperature superconductor, which has a single filament drawing process and multi-filament drawing process, has a defect like sausaging and bursting at a center. This study analyzed multi-filament drawing process by FEM, and a defect generated during multi-filament drawing was studied by FEH. Specially, in order to prevent a bursting at a center, this study presented a method that inserts a pure Ag at a center of multi-filament wire
