Processing with colloidal Ag particles in hot forged Ag-coated BSCCO-2223 composites
Multilayer Ag-BSCCO-2223 composites have been fabricated by open-die hot forging to study the role of Ag in densification and microstructural development. The composite microstructures were produced using Ag-coated BSCCO particles produced from a chemical precipitation technique. Grain alignment and Ag microstructure effects were characterized via optical and electron microscopy.
