The melt processing of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+x} (Y123) in a reduced oxygen partial pressure has been investigated. Due to the depression of the peritectic in reduced pO{sub 2} the maximum temperature of the process cycle was 955{degrees}C. The resulting microstructure is comparable to that obtained through melt processing in air. The lower process temperature allows the use of a 90Ag/10Pd alloy sheath to contain the peritectic liquid during the texturing process and to lend additional mechanical strength to textured Y123 wires.
