Abstract

Annealing of YBa2Cu_Og(12 3) above the peritectic temperature, followed by slow cooling at 0.5 C/min, was found to produce a microstructure containing regions (d ‐ 200 microns) within which the grains were highly aligned. When these regions were used to “seed” 123 powder, an enhanced degree of texture was obtained, where the aligned regions were > 1mm in size.
