Production of bismuth based on superconductor tapes: Winding and characterization

In this work, the history of high temperature superconductors are explained then some of the basic definitions are emphasized. The BSCCO-based superconductor material that is the main topic of the thesis, is filled into the silver tube. The filled silver tubes are drawn with the drawing machine using a numbur of dies with decreasing diameters. After drawing the composite wires are deformed into tapes. These superconductor tapes are insulated with different chemical mixtures, wound into coils. These coils were made as a primary and a secondory coils forming a transformer. I-V charecteristics and performance of the transformer were tested at room temperature and at 77 K
