We have produced a series of precursor alloys (Bi{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Pb{sub {ital x}}){sub 2} Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3} (0{le}{ital x}{le}0.5) by planar flow casting. After oxidation and annealing in air, essentially 2212 and 2223 phases are present. The proportion of the 2223 phase increases as {ital x} increases from 0 to 0.3, at which composition mainly the 2223 phase is obtained with {ital T}{sub {ital c}} {sub {rho}=0} =105 K, and {ital J}{sub {ital c}(100 K)} {approx}200 mA/cm{sup 2} . More Pb addition reduces the amount of the 2223 phase and yields Ca{sub 2} PbO{sub 4}. With Sb addition, a higher {ital T}{sub (onset)} near 125 K is obtained for (Bi{sub 0.85}Pb{sub 0.10}Sb{sub 0.05}){sub 2} Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub {ital y}}, corresponding to a multiphase material. A semiconducting behavior is observed when Sb{ge}10%.
