摘要: Abstract Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2−xSmxCu3Oy superconductors with nominal substitution parameters x = 0.0, 0.001, 0.005, and 0.1 were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction powder compacting method. The effects of Sm on phase formation, microhardness surface microstructure samples investigated. Phase examination X-ray diffraction indicated that enhanced formation Bi-2212 phase. Morphological investigations scanning electron microscope revealed both number size voids sample surfaces decreased enrichment. This result was also supported density measurements samples. Additionally, indentation-induced Vickers testing results in applied load range 0.245–2.940 N presented. It shown values non-linearly increasing all cases. experimental analyzed using Kick's law, Hays–Kendall approach modified proportional specimen resistance (PSR) model. analyses law failed to explain observed variations. Besides, PSR model more suitable than estimate independent hardness BSCCO superconductor.
