- Abstract
We have successfully utilized an hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technique to fabricate Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi-2212) wires under 50 bar pressure, resulting in a significant enhancement of their current-carrying capacity by nearly 2.5 times. Our study compares the microstructure and superconducting properties of the wires processed under HIP and atmospheric pressure. The results demonstrate that the critical current density (JC) of the wires treated with HIP increases from 1416 A mm−2 (at 1 bar) to 3592 A mm−2 at 4.2 K and 5 T. Initially, this increase was attributed to the reduction of void regions in the wires treated under 50 bar HIP. However, further analysis revealed that the decrease in voids resulting from HIP only accounts for 23% of the total increase in JC, implying that density improvement plays a minor role in the overall JC enhancement. In comparison to the wires processed under atmospheric pressure, the current-carrying ability of the wires treated with HIP is significantly enhanced due to the combined effect of void reduction and the dendritic structure surrounding the Bi-2212 filaments. By increasing the cooling rate from 2.5 h−1 to 5 °C h−1, we further increased the engineering critical current density (JE) of the Bi-2212 wires by 20%, reaching 975 A mm−2 (at 4.2 K and 5 T). This improvement is attributed to the effective reduction of the dendritic structure surrounding the filaments in the wires treated under 50 bar HIP, achieved by adjusting the grain growth rate during the cooling process. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of high-performance Bi-2212 wires for superconducting applications.
