ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for forming shaped superconductors of the metal oxide type by electrophoretic deposition of superconducting particles which comprises providing particulate superconducting material of the metal oxide type coated with a fusible binder, electrophoretically depositing such coated superconducting particles on a substrate, heating the coated substrate sufficiently to fuse the binder to the substrate, fabricating the coated substrate into a desired shape, removing the binder, and then sintering the coated substrate to sinter the superconducting particles together. In a preferred embodiment the process further comprises immersing the coated substrate in an electrostatic field during the fusion step to both orient and maintain the superconducting particles in a desired direction.
