Abstract

Our study concentrated on the relationship between the proportions of the phases in the precursors used to synthesise the Bi-2223 phase and the ultimate microstructures of the 2223 phase materials, although the overall cation stoichiometry fixed. It was found that the final 2223 phase grains were larger, although the bulk density tended to be lower with the grains loosely packed together, when the major phase in the precursor was 2212 phase. This was proved to be partly caused by the fast growth rate of the 2212 phase grains which were eventually converted into the 2223 phase. When 2223 phase was present in the precursor, the bulk density became higher and 2223 phase grains became closely packed together, although the average grain size became smaller. This was explained by the existence of a liquid phase at higher temperatures during the formation of the 2223 phase and the sintering of the 2223 phase grains.
