Resumo |
Y123 samples with varying amounts of added Y211, PtO 2 and CeO 2 have been melt processed and quenched from temperatures between 960°C and 1100°C. The microstructures of the quenched samples have been characterized using a combination of x-ray diffractometry, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, microprobe analysis, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and wavelength-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The Ba-Cu-O-rich melt undergoes complex changes as a function of temperature and time. A region of stability of BaCuO 2 (BC1) and BaCu 2O 2 (BC2) exists below 1040°C in samples of Y123 + 20 mol% Y211. Ba 2Cu 3O 5 is stabilized by rapid quenching but appears to separate into BC1 and BC2 at lower quenching rates. PtO 2 and CeO 2 additions affect the distribution and volume fractions of the two Ba-Cu-oxide phases. |
