Atmosphere control during preparation of YBa sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub 7- x magnet windings
1990
Large coils of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-x} can be fired successfully if the furnace atmosphere is carefully controlled. Organics added during processing produce CO{sub 2} during the initial portions of the firing schedule. Transmission electron microscopy of material fired in atmospheres containing various levels of CO{sub 2} clearly shows the extent of grain boundary degradation caused by CO{sub 2}. Coils with acceptable critical current density can be produced if the rate of CO{sub 2} removal is adequate. 9 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
