Abstract

The long tape process was developed using the advanced TFA precursor solution. In a long tape production, the advanced TFA precursor solution was coated by a die-coater using the reel-to-reel system, and the multi-coating method was applied for thicker film fabrication. We successfully fabricated long uniform precursor films. In the high temperature treatment, a large scale equipment for the continuous long tape process was developed. This equipment had a perpendicular gas flow system to the tape length which is effective to fabricate the uniform films. Ic values and its distribution in the YBCO tape fabricated by this method on CeO2/IBAD-Gd 2Zr2O7/Hastelloy were measured. And the uniform and high performance was confirmed. A 0.25 m long YBCO film with 1.38 μm in thickness on the metal substrate shows the high Ic performance of 210 A with end to end at 77.3 K in self-fields.
