  • Patent number: 12295269
    Abstract: A low-cost and high-strength Bi-based superconducting wire/tape and a preparation method thereof, the preparation method includes: 1. subjecting a first Bi-based superconducting wire/tape to electrochemical silver reduction to remove a Ag alloy layer to obtain a second Bi-based superconducting wire/tape; and 2. subjecting the second Bi-based superconducting wire/tape to surface enhancement, such that a Cu layer is formed to obtain the low-cost and high-strength Bi-based superconducting wire/tape. An electrochemical silver reduction technology combines with an electrochemical additive method to remove a Ag alloy layer on a surface of a Bi-based superconducting wire/tape and coat a high-strength Cu layer, such that a low-cost and high-strength Bi-based superconducting wire/tape can be prepared, which reduces a preparation cost and improves a strength of a Bi-based superconducting wire/tape to meet the application requirements of large super-strong magnets.
