When high temperature superconducting tapes is fabricated using the PIT (Powder In Tube) method, the length of HTS tapes is increased more than 500 ${\sim}$ 1,000 times of initial powder packed billet. On mechanical processing, heterogeneous properties between the ceramic superconducting core and Ag/Ag alloy sheath occur the non-uniformity deformation as like sausaging that deteriorate the critical current properties of HTS tapes. In this study, we investigated the workability of Bi-2223/Ag/Ag alloy sheath tapes fabricated by the PIT method involving a number of different mechanical processes, multi drawing and rolling. In order to obtain the high critical current density and high uniformity of Bi-2223/Ag sheath tapes, the influences of powder packing density, drawing die angle and rolling parameters were studied. We found that the roll diameter is an important variable in the rolling process, as critical current of tapes rolled using 250 mm rolls was higher than that using 150 mm rolls.

Superconducting tape is being developed for electrical equipment such as superconducting transformers and generators. AC loss reduction is primary concern in the development of such high-efficiency equipment. AC losses in Bi-2223 silver-sheathed tapes, both single and multi-filamentary, were investigated by means of AC magnetization techniques. The results were compared with the hysteresis loss equation based on Bean model and the eddy current loss equation. The AC loss, of the mono-filamentary tape was the hysteresis. On the contrary, the AC loss of the multi-filamentary tape was substantially dominated by the eddy current loss in the Ag matrix.

This paper deals with the characteristic analysis of the flux damper with respect to the load, and the stability of Ag/Bi-2223 tapes in a high-Tc superconducting (HTS) synchronous motor. To find out the magnetic field distribution in a detailed model of the actual motor, the experimentally measured currents of the armature and the field windings are used as input parameters. The simulation results show that the flux damper shields the time varying field up to 10%, reduces armature reactance during the motor operation and during load changes, improving the stable motor operation. And it was observed that the flux damper generates loss by means of leakage flux, but this is not significant and it doesn't degrade the performance of the TS synchronous motor.

The degradation behavior of the critical current $(I_c)$ of Bi-2223 superconducting tapes under pressurized liquid nitrogen were investigated using a newly developed p-shaped sample holder which gives a series of bending strains to a sample. Three kinds of commercially available multi-filamentary Bi-2223 superconducting tapes were used. At atmospheric pressure, the Ie degradation behavior depended on the manufacturing process undergone by each tape. The tapes externally reinforced or densified by over pressure showed better bending strain tolerance than the Ag alloy-sheathed Bi-2223 tape. But these tapes showed a significant $I_c$ degradation when pressurized to 1 MPa in liquid nitrogen. For all samples, after depressurization to atmospheric pressure from 1 MPa, the Ie was completely recovered to its initial values at atmospheric pressure. When the samples were subjected to a thermal cycle wherein the tape was warmed up to room temperature after being depressurized from 1 MPa, it was found that the larger degradation of $I_c$ occurred at the regions where significant ballooning occurred, such as $0\%\;and\;0.2\%$. However, an improved ballooning damage tolerance was observed in the highly-densified tape.

A lot of efforts have been focused on the optimization of PIT parameters for Bi-2223/Ag wire. Bi-2223 superconducting wires with 55 filaments were fabricated by stacking, drawing process. Before rolling process, round wires were pre -annealed at 760 - 820 $^{\circ}C$ and low oxygen partial pressure. We confirmed that pre-annealing step was to transform Bi-2212 orthorhombic structure from Bi-2212 tetragonal structure and to reduce the formation of second phases. However Bi-2223 phases also were formed at higher than 76$0^{\circ}C$ of pre-annealing temperature. The engineering critical current densities (Je) of Bi-22231Ag tapes were sintered at low oxygen partial pressure were higher than t hat of the wires sintered at air. We could achieve 6500 A/${cm}^2$ of Je for the tape that was initially kept at slightly higher temperature than that of normal heat treatment.

In this study, we estimate the thermal conductivity of stainless steel reinforced Bi-2223/Ag tape which was made from American Superconductor. The equipments for thermal conductivity measurement was set up using conduction cooled cryocooler. Two direction of thermal conductivity was measured. The one is the direction of cut length, and the other is direction of transverse of wounded coil with insulation material. It was observed that the thermal conductivity of transverse direction of coil was extremely lower than that of cut length direction. It was mainly seems that superconducting filaments and insulation material were effected on thermal conductivity in thermal conductivity of transverse direction.

Bi-2223/Ag superconducting wires have been mainly prepared by a powder-in-tube method. The drawing and the rolling are main processes to increase the core density and wire length. In the fabrication of long wire, especially, the drawing should be precisely controlled to assure the filament homogeneity. In this paper, the influences of drawing die angle, bearing length and reduction ratio on the sausaging and the critical current density of the wire are investigated. Single cored and multi-filamentary wires are fabricated by PIT method with different conditions. The core densities and sausaging in the wires are investigated and are discussed regarding their relationship to the I$_{c}$. It was made clear that the geometry of drawing die is sensitively dependent on the sausaging. The improvement of I$_{c}$ was achieved by reducing the die angle and high core density.ity.

In this study, we estimate the transport current loss of Bi-2223/Ag tapes with non-uniform current distribution. The conductor was consisted of three Bi-2223/Ag tapes and the each tapes were attached in parallel. The loss of conductor was investigated both numerical and experimental methods. The numerical code to predict ac loss was developed, and finite element method was introduced. It contained intrinsic properties of superconducting tape, which was obtained from nonlinear current voltage relation with external magnetic field and its orientation. Two results were compared and discussed. They showed good agreements with each other.

The effects of alloying-element additions to Ag sheath on thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of Bi-2223 superconductor tapes have been evaluated. In order to evaluate the effects of sheath alloys and their configuration on the properties of tape, various combinations of Ag and Ag alloys were selected as the inner and outer sheath. Thermal conductivity of the tapes was evaluated by using thermal integral method at 10 ∼120 K. It was observed that the addition of Mg, Sb, and Au to Ag sheath significantly decreased the thermal conductivity at low temperature probably due to the alloying effect. Specifically, the thermal conductivity of AgMg, AgSb, and AgAu at 40 K were 411.4, 142.3, and 109.7 W/(m·K), respectly, which is about 2∼9 times lower than that of Ag (1004.6 W/(m·K)). In addition, the thermal conductivity of alloy-sheathed tape was significantly dependent on their thermal conductivities of constituent sheath materials. The mechanical properties of alloy-sheathed tapes were also evaluated. Yield strength and tensile strength were improved but workability decreased for alloy-sheathed tapes.

AC losses per cycle properties at 77K have been investigated on the Ag sheathed Bi2223 wire through two kinds of measuring methods(transport method and magnetic method). In case of transport method, the absolute value of losses agree with the results of Norris theory(strip and ellipse). In case of 19-filamentary tape, AC transport losses almost agree with those of magnetic method. In case of 1-filamentary tape, However, AC losses of magnetic method is smaller than AC transport losses
