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 conventional melt processing are discussed. The process has been
demonstrated to yield highly favorable microstructures in the case of
Y-123 processed in air, as well as in the case of Gd-123 processed in
reduced oxygen partial pressure.
