Abstract

Transport critical current measurements were performed at 77 K on bulk silver-less (Bi, Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+x ceramics textured by slow sinter-forging process. The influences of the 85 K superconductive 2212 phase and non-superconductive secondary phases (SrxCa1−x)2PbO4, (Sr,Ca)14Cu24Oy and (SrxCa1−x)2CuO3, are discussed in terms of their amounts, their grain sizes and shapes and their distribution among the 2223 matrix. The importance of the temperature profile and the atmosphere the annealing that follows the sinter-forging process is clearly demonstrated.
