DC resistance measurements in multi?layer additively manufactured Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide components

Additive manufacturing can offer new methods to shape materials that are difficult or too brittle in nature to process traditionally. In this work we demonstrate the optimization of a linseed oil and ICP solvent based solution with 90 w.t% solid loading of the high temperature superconducting material yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) for additive manufacturing. The post sintered, printed components are analysed using a combination of X?ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, magnetometry and DC transport measurements. We show for the first time, for multilayer additively manufactured YBCO, direct DC transport measurements that indicate a current carrying percolative path with an upper transition temperature of 86.5 K.This article is protected by copyright.
