New method for fabrication of superconducting pipes in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 February 2016
Extract
Pipes or hollow cylinders in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system were found to be fabricated easily by inspiring or sucking the low viscosity melt into a cold silica glass tube. The outer part of the cast rod-like melt solidified, and the inner hot low-viscosity part of the rod melt was expired. The precursor pipes were reheated at 800 °C for 50 h in air, resulting in the formation of superconducting (Tc = 87 K) pipes which were of smooth surface without machining and high bending strength (100–150 MPa).
