Abstract

Mechanical bending of HTS tapes can result in the deterioration and destruction of their transport properties. Depending on the magnitude and type of strain (tensile or compressive), the films can be permanently damaged by fracture and recoverable only by post heat treatment, or simply elastically strained with recoverable transport properties upon release of the strain. Here we present results of strain effects on BSCCO (2212) /Ag tape transport properties and post heat treatment recovery of those properties.
