Abstract

The practical application of high temperature superconductors has been limited by low transport currents in bulk samples. The effect of processing on transition temperature, grain boundary coupling, and flux pinning has been examined for Bi2Sr2CaiCu20y. Enhancement of Tc based on composition can be achieved by control of crystallization and subsequent annealing processes while thermo-mechanical processing may be used to modify weak link and flux pinning behavior. The microstructural basis for these changes are related to the composition of the superconducting phase and the presence of defects associated with deformation processing. The implications of these results on conductor development are related to the selection of alloy composition for optimum transition temperature and controlled thermo-mechanical processing which yields a uniform defect structure.
