In the present work, we have investigated the combined effect of high-energy milling and Agb addition on microstructure and superconducting properties for Bi-2223/Ag. tape. The addition of siver plays an important role in enhancing liquid phase formation, Resulting in densification and cracking during solidification. Further study is needed for the optimization of Ag content and heat-treatment which can reduce the cracking.

In this work the AC loss measurement setup based on an iron core background magnet, not used in a conventional one, has been successfully developed, To prove its validity, a round-robin test for the same Bi-2223 tape sample among three institutes has been done. The results show that test data from the developed setup well agree with losses measured at different institutes.

다수본의 Bi-2223테이프로 구성되는 도체의 자기자계손실에 대한 검토를 하였으며, 그 주요 결과를 보면 자기자계손실은 도체를 구성하는 테이프의 임계 전류밀도가 커짐에 따라서 증가한다. 또한 테이프의 코아가 전자기적으로 분리되어 있는 경우 도체의 자기자계 손실은 테이프의 임계전류에 무관한 반면 결합되어 있는 경우는 테이프의 임계전류가 커짐에 따라서 도체의 자기자계손실도 증가할 것으로 예상된다.

Bi-2223테이프의 동저항 및 동저항손실에 대해 조사하였으며, 그 주요 결과는 외부교류자장이 어느 정도 큰 경우에 한해서는 테이프의 동저항은 전류에는 의존하지 않고, 자장 및 주파수에는 비례한다. 또한 동저항손실은 전류가 증가함에 따라서 급격히 증가하며, 외부교류자장에 비례하고, 주파수에는 거의 의존하지 않는다.

Superconductivity has various applications in the whole industry such as the generation of high magnetic field for medical care and diagnosis, the lossless power transmission, environment-friendly vehicles and clean energy storage systems. This paper deals with the High-Tc superconducting(HTS) power supply using heater-triggered switch for the charging of the superconducting magnets. HTS superconducting power supply consists of two heaters, an electromagnet, and Bi-2223 solenoid and Bi-2223 pancake is used as a superconducting load, similar to real HTS magnet. The timing sequential control of two heaters and an electromagnet is an important factor to generate pumping- current in the Bi-2223 load. The thermal analysis of switching parts of the Bi-2223 solenoid according to the heater input was carried out. Based upon the analysis, the 0.8A of heater current were optimally derived. The maximum pumping current reached 1.7A.

Influences of bending strain on the critical current (I$_{c}$) were investigated in Bi-2223 superconducting tapes at 77K. The effect of bending mode on the I$_{c}$ degradation behavior was discussed in viewpoints of test method, n-value and damage morphology. Especially, in this paper, we reported the I$_{c}$ behavior in Ag alloy/Bi-2223 multifilamentary super- conducting tapes under bending occurred within width x length plane of the tape which was called as a hard bending.nding.

The influences of the powder packing density on the Bi-2223/Ag tape have been investigated. For packing powder, both method of uniaxial press and packed rod form made by cold isostatic press(CIP) have been applied. As the pressure of cold isostatic press(CIP) is increased, fill factor and critical current (Ic) of Bi-2223/Ag tape is increased. At a pressure of 2000kgf/cm$^2$, fill factor reach ∼3l% and this sample has the engineering current density(Je) value of ∼8.5kA/cm$^2$(Ic ∼77A, Jc ∼ 30kA/cm$^2$). The tape sample packed by uniaxial press method shows more sawsaging effect than the sample processed by cold isostatic press(CIP), resulting from inhomogity of powder distribution produced by the process of uniaxial press.

The ac loss is an important issue in the design of superconducting cables and transformers. In these devices the Bi-2223 tapes are usually placed face-to-face In such arrangements ac loss is influenced by adjacent tapes. The effect is investigated by measuring the magnetization loss in the stacked conductor, which consists of various numbers of Bi-2223 tapes. For the stacked conductor in perpendicular field the magnetization loss at low fields is greatly decreased, compared to the loss of the single tape. The loss at high fields is unaffected. This behavior is well described by the slab model.

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$\Omega$.

We designed and manufactured a 1.8T high temperature superconducting(HTS) insert coil for a NMR magnet operated at 4.2 K. Suitable HTS superconductor and HTS coil were carefully designed and developed. We have selected multi-filamentary Bi2223 conductor fabricated by American Superconductor Corporation(AMSC). The selected conductor consists of Bi2223 filaments of 55, silver stabilizer and stainless steel reinforcement tapes. Therefore, it shows good hoop strength as well as compression tolerance. The conductor has a tape cross-section of 0.31mm x 4.8mm. the Bi2223 conductor shows large anisotropy of critical current. The critical current of conductor in magnetic field parallel to the flat surface are much higher than that in magnetic field perpendicular. The HTS coil has an inner diameter of 78 mm, an outer diameter of 127 mm and a coil length of 600 mm. In this paper, the detailed design, fabrication and test results on the HTS insert coil are presented.
