Superconduction materials possess electrical/electronic and magnetic properties. Because superconduction materials is a ceramic powder, that can not 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. Actually, the fabrication of Ag sheathed Bi-2223 superconductor by PIT tends to lead to non-uniformity in the core thickness during drawing process. That is so called “Sausaging”. This study analyzed a sausaging using the finite-element method. Also, Effects of drawing process parameters on a sausaging has been carried out using finite element method. Finally, A way to prevent a sausaging has been discussed.

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

Bi-2223 HTS tapes are used widely for application of superconducting power systems. However there are need the properties of high strength and low AC loss. Two kinds of Bi-2223 HTS tapes with different Ag sheath were used to know the effect of sheath alloying for the strength and the resistivity. The workability and reaction degree of superconducting phase at Bi-2223 HTS tapes were investigated. We designed conventional type-Ag/alloy and double sheathed mono filament type-Ag/alloy/alloy in order to increase the strength and resistivity of matrix in Bi-2223 HTS tapes. The effect of axial strain and thermal cycling on the critical current was investigated for the Bi-2223 HTS tapes. Because the workability of double sheath Bi-2223 HTS tape was lower than one sheath Bi-2223 HTS tape, it was need additional softening treatment. Bi-2223 formation reaction was decreased by Ag alloy matrix during sintering process. Two kinds of Bi-2223/Ag tapes with different Ag sheath were used to know the effect of sheath alloying for the tensile strain. Critical current is drastically decreased for Ag/alloy and Ag/alloy/alloy sheathed tapes at tensile strain above 0.24 % and 0.34 %, respectively. This result showed that mechanical strength was increased over than 40 % by introduce double sheath at mono filament stage.

There have been a lot of studies to improve the characteristic of Bi-2223 tape by PIT method which is considered as one of the best way for applying superconductor. These improved characteristic of Bi-2223 tape is able to be acqured by control of mechanical deformation and heat treatment. In this work, we studied HTS tapes with the sheath(Ag and Ag-alloy)of tapes that affect mechenical strength and critical current, with each two kind of purity(99.9% and 99.999%) and with two kind of tapes(single and double concentric). These charateristics affect Jc of tapes seriously that is the most important factor of superconductor tapes.

Long length of Bi-2223/Ag superconducting wives were fabricated by stacking and drawing process with advanced heat-treatment schedules. Intermediate annealing was carried out to increase the homogeneity and uniformity of the superconducting filaments embedded in the silver matrix. Phase modification from tetragonal to orthorhombic Bi-2212 by pre heat treatment(PHT) was executed to improve the texture and phase transformation of Bi-2223. Drawing stress was measured to predict the sausaging and stress limit. Rolling Parameters such as thickness. width and winding tension were investigated to roll the tape with uniformity. 1 km length of Bi-2223/Ag superconducting wires were fabricated without any breakage. Critical current (Je) of 270 m length of superconducting tapes was measured over than $70 A/cm^2$ continuously after final sintering.

Bi-2223 superconductor is known as one of the candidates for practical superconducting wires. Ag-sheathed Bi-2223 superconducting wires were fabricated using the powder-in-tube(PIT) method. When the 19-filaments wire was immersed in liquid nitrogen(77K), maximum critical current density Jc of 62 A/$mm_2$ at 0T was achieved. The critical current density has been shown to depend on the mechanical properties such as tensile stress and bending strain in Ag-sheathed Bi-2223 superconducting wires. The tensile strain for Jc degradation onset was in the range of 0.12~0.3%. In the case of 19-filaments wire, the bending strain is estimated to be smaller than 0.3% for the reasonable Jc value. The observed degradation of the critical current density due to strain effect is inevitable and can be attributed to the formation of microcracks within the superconducting core.

We evaluated the effect of alloying-element additions to Ag sheath on thermal conductivity of Bi-2223 superconductor tapes. In order to evaluate the effect of sheath alloys and their configuration on the properties of tape, various combinations of Ag and Ag alloys were selected as inner and outer sheath. Thermal conductivity of the tapes was measured by using thermal integral method at 10∼120 K. It is observed that the presence of alloying-elements such as Mg, Sb, and Au in Ag sheath results in decreased thermal conductivity at low temperature. Specifically, the thermal conductivity of AgMg, AgSb, and AgAu at 40 K were 411.4, 142.3, and 109.7 W/(m·K), respectively, 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 values of constituent sheath materials.

Considering the application of high temperature superconductor to MRI, the loss at conductor joint would be very important. Therefore, we have carried out a measurement of joint resistance of Bi-2223/Ag tapes at 77 K. A pancake coil was wound by Bi-2223/Ag tape. Both ends the tape were overlapped and soldered to each other. The DC current is induced in the pancake coil by energizing the excitation coil wound by copper wire closely located to the pancake coil. The decay behaviour of the current in coils was clearly separated in two regimes, and initial fast decay of the order of minutes followed by a slow logarithmic-like decay, From this data, the resistance of the joint was evaluated as 2.74 n$\Omega$.

It was known that properties of superconducting tapes could be influenced by mechanical processing method. In this presentation, the effect of drawing method on the final properties of superconductor tape has been systematically studied. Firstly, BSCCO/Ag tapes have been fabricated via two-stage drawing method and conventional rolling process. The two-stage drawing process consists of circular dies drawing and rectangular dies drawing. Important parameters such as fill factor and critical current values of fully processed superconducting tapes have been evaluated to elucidate the effect of drawing method.
