The effects of Fe substitution on grain alignment and superconducting properties of annealed fibers were studied using SEM/EDX microanalysis in addition to phase analysis and magnetic measurements realized through XRD, M-T, and M-H loops. In the same growth conditions, higher Fe contents lead to a more compact microstructure with lower porosity but also caused the formation of poor superconducting phases followed by the decrease of T (c) and J (cmag). No evidence of enhanced pinning capability was found in the magnetic measurements. Annealed rods indicated a weakly ferromagnetic-like behavior at relatively high doping levels.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBi-2212Fe substitutionLFZTextureMelt processingConference Object2641143114910.1007/s10948-012-1834-42-s2.0-84876503498Q3WOS:000317014500075Q3
