ABSTRACT:
Superconducting precursors, which can be made into metal oxide superconductors such as YBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.6+x, and a process for their manufacture by the coprecipitation of 1-2-3 nitrates using inexpensive precipitating agents such as alkali hydroxides, carbonates and bicarbonates. The process involves preparing a stoichiometric mixture of Y, Ba and Cu nitrates, which is then combined with a solution containing an excess of NaOH/K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, KOH/K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, NaOH/Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3, or KOH/Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3, which causes the precipitation of the precursor. The suspension containing the precipitate is filtered and then washed wi
