The authors have found an efficient and highly reproducible method for the preparation of the homogeneous Tl-1223 powders by the partial substitution of Ba{sup 2+} into the Sr{sup 2+} sites in the (Tl{sub 0.6}Pb{sub 0.2}Bi{sub 0.2})(Sr{sub 2{minus}x}Ba{sub x})Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 9} system. Superconducting tapes (sheathed in silver) based on the titled system have been fabricated by using the powder-in-tube (PIT) method. Typical critical temperatures ({Tc}) of around 120 K and transport critical current densities (J{sub c}) of about 1.05 {times} 10{sup 4} A/cm{sup 2} at 77 K in a zero magnetic field have been routinely obtained on short lengths ({approximately}3 cm) of the sintered Tl-1223 tapes after rolling. Moreover, a prototype superconducting (Tl,Pb,Bi)(Sr,Ba){sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu3O{sub 9} magnet (with three pancake coils, each containing four 3 m lengths of rolled tapes) generated field of 240 G at 77 K was obtained.
