MgB2 tapes with Al addition were fabricated by powder in tube (PIT) method. The superconducting property and microstructure of Al doped MgB2 tapes were investigated with X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and magnetic measurements. The Jc value of MgB2 tapes was increased with Al addition. The Jc-B curves show enhancement in Jc(B), which suggests that the microstructure and transport properties of MgB2 tapes have been improved with Al addition.
