The Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox phase was synthesized by solid-state reaction of oxides and carbonates. Initial compositions of Bi:Sr:Ca:Cu were 4:3:3:6 and 2:1.7:1:2. Pellets of the pure powder and powder containing 2.5, 5, or 15 wt.% Ag were cold-pressed and either sintered or hot isostatically pressed (HIPped). For HIPping, the pellets were encased in thin Ag sheets, canned in steel, and pressed at 105 MPa in argon at 800 or 850°C. HIPping produced dense specimens, but sintering did not. HIPping induced very little decomposition of the Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox, but a post-HIP anneal was needed to raise the transition temperature above 80 K. The Ag additions appeared to minimize microcracking during HIPping at 800°C. Little microcracking was evident in any of the specimens HIPped at 850°C.
