Processing and characterisation of long-length silver/bismuth-2223 tape for electric power applications

The potential of high temperature superconductivity (HTS) to raise efficiencies in electric power utilisation is dependent on the availability of HTS materials in a form which can be engineered into devices. This paper reviews a program of continuous process and product improvement which has enabled tape with lengths up to 1000 m and appropriate engineering properties to be reproducibly processed using the powder-in-tube technique. Underpinning this development of a large scale process capability, tape development on a small scale was necessary in the areas of innovative tape design, metal forming optimisation and heat treatment. In addition, techniques for the characterisation of long lengths of tape were developed. These techniques included the modelling of the effect of the self-field generated by the tape under test at 77 K to enable zero field Ic data to be determined.
