Sintered bulk samples of YBa 2 Cu 3 O x of 95% to 99% theoretical density have been consolidated by a one‐step densification process. Superconducting transitions determined by dc magnetization experiments are above 90 K. The metallurgical state of the material, both before and after consolidation, is characterized by X‐ray diffraction and electron microscopy analysis as well as density and resistivity measurements. Improvement in critical current density (J c ) in the consolidated material is related to changes in the microstructure. Particular attention is focused on the granular nature of the compound and the influence of the consolidation process on the weak‐link structure.
