PROCESS FOR PRODUCING BISMUTH-BASED SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIAL

摘要

The present process for producing a Bi-based superconducting material comprises molding a material powder and subjecting the molded article to partial melting and then to crystallization in the presence of oxygen. In that case, the molded article is annealed, after the partial melting, to the crystallization temperature and subjected to crystallization at that temperature. Also, the article after the crystallization is cooled and the cooled article is heat-treated in an inert gas atmosphere. According to the above process, there can be obtained a Bi-based superconducting material having excellent superconducting properties.
