Microstructural effects on superconducting properties of sintered YBa2Cu3O7−x wires
1991
Abstract Microstructural effects on the superconducting properties of extruded wires were studied. The most important factors controlling microstructure are the binder system, its removal conditions, and the sintering conditions — temperature, heating rate, duration, and annealing in oxygen. The transport J c of 1500 A/cm 2 has been achieved under optimized processing conditions. A new technique that uses aligned grains as seeds and the eutectic phase of BaCuO 2 and CuO as a low melting flux was explored as a way to achieve oriented microstructures. Properties of these wires are presented and discussed.
