We present a systematic study of the oxygen overdoping effects on the de magnetization loops of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta single crystalline samples. The overdoping is produced by high oxygen pressure (from 1 to 190 bar) annealing at 500 degreesC. The super conducting critical temperature and the c-axis lattice parameter are used to identify the oxygen content of the samples. The dc magnetization loop measurements are performed with the applied magnetic field parallel to the c-axis of the crystals. The characteristic second peak in the magnetization is present far all the investigated oxygen contents. We show that the position of this second peak and the irreversibility field increase monotonically as a function of oxygen doping.
