Continuous processing of YBCO/IBAD coated conductors on flexible substrates

Conference ·
OSTI ID:538030
A continuous coating system has been developed for depositing YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} (YBCO) on 1 cm wide flexible tapes up to 113 cm long. The authors best result to date is a 12 cm long tape with a critical current (I{sub c}) of 70 A at 75 K. Variations along the length of the tape limited the overall current, but indicated the potential for long length critical currents in excess of 100 A.
