Abstract
An infiltration and growth (IG) process which enables the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) components of REBa2Cu3O7 (RE = Y, Gd, Sm, Nd , etc.) (RE-123) superconductors with a highly textured microstructure is described. The advantages of the process in comparison with conven tional melt processing are discussed. The process has been demonstrate d to yield highly favorable microstructures in the case Y-123 processe d in air, as well as in the case of Gd-123 processed in reduced oxygen partial pressure.
