BSCCO‐2212 round wires are being studied at Fermilab for possible use in accelerator magnets. Several billets were produced by OST with various fill factors in a diameter range between 0.7 mm and 1 mm. To allow for cabling the strands, a modified process was implemented as opposed to the regular process with oxygen anneal. Rutherford‐type cables were fabricated and the performance of extracted strands was compared with that of virgin samples. Cables were also tested using a superconducting transformer.
