Abstract: The effects of sintering on the microstructure and the critical current density of Ag-sheathed BiPbSrCaCuO (2223) superconducting tapes prepared by the powder-in-tube technique were in- vestigated. The microstructure of oxide layer and the J_C at 77 K were strongly dependent on the sintering condition. The optimum sintering temperature, time and cooling rate to maximize J_C values were in the range about 840-850℃, 100-200 h and 50-100℃/h, respectively.

Key words: BiPbSrCaCuO, superconductor, sintering, sheath
