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.

Bi-2223 테이프는 송전케이블과 같은 저 자장 전력시스템의 응용에 가장 유망한 선재로 알려져 있다. 송전케이블에 교류 전류가 인가되면 인접한 테이프에 의해서 발생되는 자계는 통전손실에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이와 같은 실제 송전케이블의 응용 측면을 고려하여 좌측 및 상부인접전류가 통전손실에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. Bi-2223 테이프의 통전손실은 교류 인접전류가 증가함에 따라서 급격하게 증가하는 반면, 직류 인접전류의 영향은 무시 가능한 정도로 작았으며, 인접전류가 큰 경우는 테이프의 배열에 무관한 반면 작은 경우에는 상부배열인 경우의 영향이 큼을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Bi-2223 테이프의 통전손실은 교류 인접전류의 주파수에 무관함을 알 수 있었다.

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.

Critical current - magnetic field ($I_c$-B) relation is one of the basic properties of an HTS wire, which is needed for the design of performances of superconducting devices. Experimental results of the $I_c$-B relation of Bi-2223 and YBCO superconducting wire are presented in this paper. n-value is also an important parameter which is needed to calculate the electric field by using the power-law. Measurement results of the n-value of the same HTS superconducting wires are also presented.

We jointed Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O multifilament tapes and evaluated their electrical and mechanical properties. In order to improve connectivity of multifilaments, one or two single-filament tape was inserted between two multifilament tapes. The critical current ratio(CCR) and n-value of the jointed tapes were evaluated as a function of uniaxial pressure. It was observed that critical current ratio and n-value were 24.8-29.0% and 2.5-2.8 for MM lap-jointed tape. On the other hand, the corresponding values were improved to 24.7-53.9% and 3.1-4.2 for MSM jointed tape, and 63.4-76.0% and 3.4-5.1 for double MS:vr lap-jointed tape, respectively. The highest electrical properties of double MSM lap-jointed tape are considered to be owing to the presence of single core, causing better interconnections of multifilaments between the two tapes. The mechanical property of jointed tape was evaluated and correlated to the microstructural evolution. The strength of jointed tapes was 44-64% less than that of the unjoined tape. The strain tolerance of jointed tape was also reduced compared to that of the unjoined tape. These lower mechanical properties of jointed tape are probably due to the induced nonuniform microstructure such as the existence of cracks and Ag-intrusion in the joined region.

The critical current density, Jc, of superconductor tape significantly depends on microstructural evolution during mechanical deformation. In this study, we fabricated Bi-2223 superconductor tape by PIT technique, and investigated mechanical properties of mono- and 61-filamentary tapes and their joined tapes. The strength of mono-filament tape was higher than those of 61-filament tape was higher than those of 61-filament tape, respectively. On the other hand, elongation of mono-filament tape, respectively. On the other hand, elongation of mono-filament tape was lower than 61 filament tape. The joined tapes shows lower strength and irreversible strain than those of unjoined tapes. The reduced strength and irreversible strain for joined tape is probably related to the induced damages such as irregular interface and Ag-instrusion in the transition region which acts as a stress concentration.

In order to investigate the relation between the microstructure and the V-I characteristics of HTSC wire, single and 19 filamentary silver-sheathed Bi2223 tapes were fabricated using the powder-in-tube method. Higher J$\_$c/ at 77.3 K(0 T) and 4.2 K(in magnetic field) can be achieved for the 19 filamentary Bi tape, comparing the single filamentary tape. However, the I$\_$c/ distribution of 19 filamentary Bi2223 tape was found to be wider by analyzing the curve obtained from 2nd differential of V-I data. This was considered to be resulted from worse uniformity of oxide filament due to severe cold working.

In future superconducting electrical machines and device. AC loss in the superconducting windings are one of the most impotent design paramenters. This paper descriptions a series of Characteristic of a high-Tc superconducting Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Ag-sheathed filament. In the case simulation and design to reduce ac loss is considered the filament number, twitch pith number and diameter of filament. A filament sample with Tc of 78K is made by $835^{\circ}C$ sintering for 50h and $0.33^{\circ}C$/min heating rate in an atmosphere. The experiment observations are compared with self-field loss and AC losses of Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O filament at 77K in following environments ; (i)AC external parallel magnetic field in different frequencies. And an analytical expression of the loss the derivation of transposition from an optimum condition was derived for the external AC magnetic field, theoretical predictions were found to coincide with the experimental observations.

The effects of fabrication method and condition on critical current density of Ag sheathed Bi- 2223 superconducting tapes by powder-in-tube method were studied. The highest critical current density (Jc) in the whole process was measured in the repeative heat treatment of 250 hour and mechanical deformation of 2 times. These results are suggested that the high-Tc phase at the heat treatment of 250 hour was superior and the good grain alignment at the mechanical deformation of 2 times was analyzed by XRD pattern. The highest critical current density obtained by pressing method was $1.05\times 10^4A/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.78\times 10^4A/\textrm{cm}^2$ in case of rolling method. The multifilamentary wires with 7 and 49 filaments were fabricated to check the applicability of pressing and rolling method for preparing multifilaments wire. The critical current density of 7 filaments tapes prepared by pressing showed $0.45 \times 10^{4}A/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.20 \times 10^{4}A/\textrm{cm}^2$ for 49 filaments tapes prepared by rolling.

The substantial improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be achieved with small-size samples or low-field MRI system by high-temperature superconducting(HTS) RF coil. The typical HTS RF coil made of HTS thin film is expensive and is limited the coil geometry to planar surface coil. In this study, commercial Bi-2223 HTS tapes was used as RF coil for a 0.35T permanent MRI system. It has advantages of both much lower cost and easier fabrication over HTS thin film coil. SNR gain of the image obtained from the HTS RF coil over a conventional Cu RF coil at room temperature was about 2.4-fold and 1.9-fold using the spin echo pulse sequence and gradient echo pulse sequence respectively.
