摘要
Bi system tapes were prepared using the powder in tube method. The tapes were processed to their final thickness by repeated rolling and pressing and by a combination of rolling and pressing with intermediate heat treatment. The different processing techniques greatly affected the critical current density J c of the tapes because the homogeneity of the ceramic core and the propensity for crack formation within the tapes mainly depended on the deformation process.
