Abstract
We have compared the microstructure of sintered, in-situ and melt processed Tl(Bi)-1223/Ag tapes using TEM. Melt processing of the tapes increases grain connectivity and removes amorphous phases leading to an improvement in the IC/B characteristics of the material. No long range grain alignment, which is the main requirement for improving the properties, was observed in the tapes.
