Abstract

Coatings of Y‐Ba‐Gu‐oxide superconductors have been produced by plasma spraying the reacted powders. The spraying process disrupts both the structural and the electrical properties of the material, however the desired properties can be restored by heat treatment. Short times (5 to 20 min.) at high temperatures (900° to 1000° C) produce coatings which are predominantly the desired YBa2Cu3O7‐phase and exhibit on‐set of superconductivity above 80 K. Details of the effects of heat treatment on the structural, electrical, and chemical properties are reported. 1987 The American Ceramic Society
