Recent issues in fabrication of Ag-clad BSCCO superconductors
1995
Long lengths of mono-and multifilament Ag-clad BSCCO superconductors were fabricated by the powder-in-tube technique. Critical current density (Jc) up to 12,000 A/cm2 has been achieved in an 850 m long multicore conductor. Long length conductors were formed into pancake-shaped coils by the wind-and-react approach. Test magnets were then fabricated by stacking the pancake coils and connecting them in series. The magnets were characterized as a function of applied magnetic field at various temperatures. A test magnet, fabricated with ≈770 m of BSCCO tape, generated fields of ≈1 T at 4.2K and ≈ 0.6 T at 27K, both in an applied background field of 20 T. Additionally, the strain tolerance of both mono-and multifilament conductors at 77K in 0.5 T applied field has been studied. We observed that multifilament conductors have better strain tolerance than monofilament tapes, retaining more than 90% of the initial critical current (at 0.5 T) with strain ≥1%.
