The high critical current density of YBCO-coated conductors prepared by rolling assisted biaxially textured substrate technic is mostly based on the high quality cube-textured substrates. In this paper, the effect of initial grain size of ingot on the microstructure and texture evolutions during cold rolling has been investigated in high alloyed Ni8W ingots, which can affect the cube texture formation in Ni8W alloy substrates subsequently. Finally, high quality cube texture had been obtained in Ni8W alloy substrate with fine initial grain size prepared by advanced SPS technology.

Sharp Cube Texture

It is well know that Ni-5at.% W(Ni5W) and Ni-9.3at.% W(Ni9W) alloy substrates are two kinds of promising materials to be employed in coated conductors. The Ni5W substrate is very easy to produce cube texture, while the Ni9W alloy has a lower magnetic property and higher strength. However, the pure cube texture are not capable to be obtained in Ni9W alloy. In this work, the preparation and texture development in both Ni5W and Ni9W alloy substrates have been reported. Highly biaxial textured Ni5W substrate was fabricated by cold rolling, followed by three different annealing routes. The texture analysis indicated that a sharp cube texture was formed after annealing at a wide temperature range of 800-1100°C in as rolled Ni5W substrate. The high quality of cube orientation was obtained after a two step annealing (TSA) with farthing twin boundaries analyzed by EBSD. Furthermore, in order to obtain a pure cube texture in Ni9W alloy substrate, a typical rolling process was performed and the deformation texture was optimized in these substrates. The designed deformation texture components were obtained in Ni9W alloy when pre-heating the ingot at 250 °C before performing a cold rolling, which shows a possibility to form cube texture in Ni9W alloy substrate after annealing.

Sol-gel processing of La2Zr2O7 (LZO) buffer layers on biaxially textured Ni-3 at.% W alloy substrates using a continuous reel-to-reel dip-coating unit has been studied. The epitaxial LZO films obtained have a strong cube texture and uniform microstructure. The effect of increasing the annealing speed on the texture, microstructure and the carbon content retained in the film were studied. On top of the LZO films, epitaxial layers of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) and Ceria (CeO2) were deposited using rf sputtering, and YBa2Cu3Ox (YBCO) films were then deposited using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). A critical current density (Jc) of 1.9 MA/cm2 at 77K and self-field and 0.34 MA/cm2 at 77K and 0.5T have been obtained on these films. These values are comparable to those obtained on YBCO films deposited on all-vacuum deposited buffer layers, and are the highest ever obtained using solution seed layers. The use of all-solution buffers for coated conductor processing has also been explored. A critical current density of 1.1 MA/cm2 at 77 K and self-field was obtained on YBCO films grown be PLD on LZO buffered nickel substrates.
