Processing and Fabrication of Superconducting Ceramics
30 May 1988
The processing and fabrication of superconducting ceramics will be discussed emphasizing tape casting as a method of producing flexible thin sheets of unfired ceramic. Firing conditions which optimize density, Tc and Jc have been determined. Tapes have been produced with grains of Ba sub 2 YCu sub 3 O sub 7 partially oriented with the c axis perpendicular to the tape surface.
