Batch-type fabrication process of YBCO coated conductor using oxide-precursor-based MOD method

[ $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-8}$ ] (YBCO) coated conductor has been fabricated by batch-type process using oxide-precursor-based metal-organic deposition (MOD) method. The batch-type process can be scaled up more simply to Produce long-length YBCO conductor than the reel-to-reel process. Also, it has less handling problems and is adequate to the ambient gas environment. In this work, YBCO oride powder was used as a starting precursor for MOD method. After reel-to-reel dip coating process, me ter-long-buffered metal tape was wound around a cylinder and underwent calcination and annealing processes. Annealed YBCO films showed good c-axis alignment and dense surface morphology with no cracks, but exhibited very low critical current density of $10^5\;A/cm^2$.
