The Ag-sheathed Ba1−x

Fe2As2 (Ba-122) monofilamentary tapes were prepared by the ex-situ powder-in-tube method. The variation of the microstructure and superconducting properties with the thickness of the superconducting core in the cross-section of sintered tapes is studied. At the same time, the reason is studied in comparison with the unsintered tapes. The research results show that the magnetic J
c of the iron-based superconducting tapes increases continuously with distance from the core-sheath interface, which is the complete opposite of the Bi-based superconductor. The magnetic J
c of central layers for final Ba-122 tapes is about 33% higher than the Jc
of the whole tape at 4.2 K and 7 T. We have found that the center of the superconducting core shows higher hardness and better texture. In addition, it is also found that there is a reaction layer at the Ag-superconductor interface. These reasons may result in the reduction of the critical current density near the interface in the tapes. Moreover, we also found the presence of a reaction layer in the hot-pressed (HP) high-performance samples. However, no unevenness was found in the unsintered samples. Therefore, the superconductivity of Ba-122 tapes will be better by reducing the reaction layer and eliminating inhomogeneity at the core-sheath interface of the sintered tapes.
