In the present paper, synthesis, characterization and application of MgO-ZrO2 insulation coatings on Ag and AgMg sheathed Bi-2212 superconducting tapes were studied by using a reel-to-reel sol-gel technique. The investigation of synthesis mechanisms was attempted from the solution based structure to annealing process using TGA, XRD and SEM. Superconducting properties of the coated AgMg/Bi-2212 tapes were also evaluated.
