Abstract
Sintered bars of YBa2Cu3O7-x obtained by slip-casting are investigated for drying and sintering behaviour. High J(cm) values (approximate to 10(6) A/cm(2) at 77 K) are obtained, although J(ct) values are low (a pproximate to 10(2) A/cm(2) at 77 K). Microstructural characterisation is undertaken on selected samples which demonstrate significant diffe rences in physical density and critical current density.
