The effects of axial tensile and bending strains on the critical current of Ag and AgMn/Bi-based tapes produced by the powder-in-tube method have been studied at 77 K. The observed degradation of critical current due to tensile strain effects is irreversible. AgMn sheath and multifilament are benefi...
