Influence of magnetic field and magnetic anisotropy on the quench characteristics of Bi-2223/Ag multifilamentary tapes

We examined the normal propagation characteristics of Bi-2223/Ag multifilamentary tapes as a function of magnetic field direction. Anisotropic current transport characteristics were estimated by taking into account the effect of the misorientation of the grains. Anisotropic normal zone propagation properties were examined based on the numerical simulation, and showed that the thermal properties were influenced by the anisotropic current transport characteristics.
