Double pancake test coils are fabricated in order to examine the mechanical properties of Bi-2223 conductors under high hoop stress. The critical current of the high-[I.sub.c] test coil is shown to be 164 A, where the hoop stress is estimated at 323 MPa and the high-strength test coil has burst at a hoop stress of approximately 200 MPa.
