The strain tolerance of doctor blade tapes of the high-temperature superconductor Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 1}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 8{minus}{delta}} have been studied to determine the suitability of these materials for magnet conductors. Critical currents that are on the order of 150 000 A/cm{sup 2} in zero magnetic field fall by about 30% with 0.1% bending strain and by a factor of 6 with 0.2% bending strain. At 20 T, critical currents fall with strain by approximately the same factor as at 4.2 K, but the critical currents fall with field somewhat faster. These bending strain results have a character quite different from Nb{sub 3}Sn bronze process material in that there is essentially no prestress from the Cu jacket and there seems to be only a very small reversible range where the sample is within the elastic limit.
