Abstract
An improved process for preparing superconducting ceramic powder includes calcining superconducting precursor compounds in an atmosphere having a controlled amount of oxygen, generally not more than that found in air, the remainder of the atmosphere composed of a gas or mixture of gases inert with respect to the ceramic. A preferred process includes forming the precursor compounds into a slurry, granulating the slurry, drying the granules (a binder can be added to the slurry to promote green strength), and calcining in the controlled atmosphere to provide the desired HTSC (high temperature superconductor) composition.
