Abstract

The Bi2212 based HTS tubes with 4 different compositions, Bi:Sr:Ca:Cu = 2.0:2.0:1.0:2.0, 2.1:2.0:1.0:2.0,2.2:1.8:1.0:2.0 and 2.2:1.8.1.0.2:2 with 10% of SrSO$_4$ were studied. For tube fabrication the optimum range of melt temperatures and preheating temperature and time for mold were 105$0^{\circ}C$~110$0^{\circ}C$ and 55$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min respectively. The mold rotating speed was 1000rpm. Typical tube dimension was 30/24mm in outside/inside diameter and 60mm in length. A tube was annealed at 84$0^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours in oxygen atmosphere. The plate like grains more than 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were well developed along the rotating direction of mold regardless of initial chemical compositions. The specimen with Bi2212 composition exhibited $T_c$ of 83K while the specimen with other compositions are lower than 60K. The measured $I_c and J_c$ at 77K(B = 0T) in Bi2212 composition were about 80A and 266A/$\textrm{cm}^2$.
