Abstract
Both liquidus and subsolidus phase equilibrium data are of central importance for applications of high temperature superconductors in the (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system. The subsolidus equilibria of the 110K high Tc Pb-doped 2223 ((Bi,Pb),Sr,Ca,Cu) phase and the location of the primary phase field have been determined. A wicking technique was developed to capture the melt for quantitative microchemical analysis. A total of 29 five-phase volumes that include the 2223 phase as a component were obtained. The initial melt compositions of these volumes range from a mole fraction of 7.3% to 28.0% for Bi, 11.3% to 27.8% for Sr, 1.2% to 19.4% for Pb, 9.8% to 30.8% for Ca, and 17.1% to 47.0% for Cu. The crystallization field for the 2223 phase was constructed using the convex hull technique. A multifaceted polytope can be used to describe the outline of the primary phase field.
