Abstract
Bulk GdBa2Cu3Oy superconductors with uniformly distributed inclusions of mi cron-sized Gd2BaCuO5 (211) have been prepared by the infiltration and textu ring of pre-shaped porous 211 preforms with liquid phases, in a high purity Ar atmosphere. The microstructural features at various stages of processin g with particular emphasis on the nature of the 211 inclusions are studied. The superconducting properties like the transition temperatures and critic al current densities of the resulting composites are discussed. (C) 1999 El sevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
