A comparative study of pressure slip casting and spray granulation-molding for fabricating dense YBCO superconducting targets

Key Points

• Dense YBCO superconducting targets were better achieved with pressure slip casting compared to spray granulation-molding.
• The density measurements indicated pressure slip casting provided superior outcomes, exceeding 90% density.
• Assessment based on defined parameters for both methods, focusing on target density as a key factor.
• Suggests improved manufacturing techniques for higher efficiency in superconducting applications.
