Abstract

We have developed a unique fabrication process for producing long lengths of Bi-2223 superconductor tapes. The process uses a continuous electrophoretic coating technique for sequentially depositing superconductor and silver layers on a substrate, by heat treating and rolling steps. The process offers a number of advantages over competing techniques.<>
