  • Abstract
    The effects of steam on the sintering of Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) ceramic superconductors are reported. It has been found that steam is favourable for promoting the sintering of YBCO ceramics and increasing the bulk density of the material as well as the critical-current density. The linear contraction coefficient increases with increasing steam pressure. The samples of YBCO made by this method have shown good resistance against H2O and CO2. The reason why steam promotes the sintering process is explained
