High transport critical currents in flexible screen-printed Ag-(Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox tapes

Abstract
We fabricated screen‐printed Ag‐(Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox monofilament and multifilament tapes with filament number 1≤N≤5. As N increases, the critical current Ic increases monotonically until it reaches 54 A (77 K, 0 T) for N=5, while the critical current density Jc is around 1.6×104 A/cm2 (77 K, 0 T) nearly independent of N. The bend strain tolerance is found to decrease with increasing N. For monofilament tapes the strain tolerance is 2%–3% strain while for multifilament tapes it decreases to ∼1% at N=3 and ∼0.4% at N=5.
