The use of an intermediate layer is necessary for the growth of YBaCuO thin films on polycrystalline metallic alloys for tape conductor applications. A pulsed laser deposition process to grow controlled-orientation yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) films as intermediate layers on Haynes Alloy No. 230 was developed and characterized. YBaCuO films deposited on these YSZ-coated substrates are primarily {ital c}-axis oriented and superconducting as deposited. The best YBaCuO films grow on (001) oriented YSZ intermediate layers and have {ital T}{sub {ital c}} ({ital R}=0) = 86.0 K and {ital J}{sub {ital c}} {similar to} 3{times}10{sup 3} A/cm{sup 2} at 77 K.
