Effects of process variables on the properties of YBa2Cu3O(7-x) ceramics formed by investment casting

An investment casting process has been developed to produce net-shape, superconducting ceramics. In this work, a factorial experiment was performed to determine the critical process parameters for producing cast YBa2Cu3O7 ceramics with optimum properties. An analysis of variance procedure indicated that the key variables in casting superconductive ceramics are the particle size distribution and sintering temperature. Additionally, the interactions between the sintering temperature and the other process parameters (e.g., particle size distribution and the use of silver dopants) were also found to influence the density, porosity, and critical current density of the fired ceramics.

Computational advances in fluid dynamics

An office size digital computer with capabilities exceeding a CDC 7600 can be constructed for less than 300 K and spectral methods offer a factor ten improvement over finite difference methods. Integration of these facts can produce two orders of magnitude reduction in cost of fluid dynamic computations and permit solution of 3-D problems which were not previously feasible.
