Abstract

The steady‐state flow stress of YBa2Cu3O7‐δ containing 15 to 30 vol.% Ag has been measured in air at nearly constant compressive strain rates between 5 x 10‐6 and 1 x 10‐4 s‐1 from 830 to 900°C. Addition of Ag dramatically decreases the flow stress compared to that of the pure superconductor, but the stress exponents and the activation energy for deformation remain unchanged.
