Abstract

Melt texturing large-grain yttriumbarium-copper-oxide materials has evolved in the last few years into a technology capable of producing large quantities of high-perfor-mance superconducting bulk materials. Such materials are used for developing novel engineering devices, such as energy-storage systems and motors. This article gives an overview of the principles of large-grain growth, various processing strategies for these materials, and the limitations of present processing techniques. On the basis of this overview, some directions for further improving superconducting properties and the processing techniques of these materials are discussed.
