Properties of Y-Ba-Cu-O High Tc superconductor prepared by sintering, sintering+HIP encapsulation

열간 정수압 소결(HIP)에 의한 Y-Ba-Cu-O계rhdhs 초전도체의 제작 및 특성

High TC Y-Ba-Cu-O Superconductors were fabricated by sintering, sinter+HIP encapsulation. Specimens were sintered at 920$^{\circ}C$∼960$^{\circ}C$. A part of sintered specimens were treated by HIP, and HIP conditions were 150 MPa, 880$^{\circ}C$, 30min under the Ar atmosphere. The relative density of HIP specimens was increased 5∼8% in comparison with sintered one(90∼93% relative density). X-ray analysis represented the orthorhobic-tetragonal phase transition with annealing condition. Tc measurements showed a sharp drp within 3$^{\circ}C$, 91K onset and 89K offset. Transport current density(Jc) of sintered specimens showed typically∼159A/㎤ but that of sinter+HIP encapsulation was decreased to∼89A/㎤ because of insufficient oxygen diffusion, Hardness(H) and Toughness(Kc) were increased to 38GPa; and 2.9 MPam$\^$$\frac{1}{2}$/, respectively.
