Summary

Superconducting magnets made of high-T(c) superconductors are promising for industrial applications. It is well known that REBa(2)-Cu(3)O(7-x) superconductors prepared by melt processes have a high critical current density, J(c), at 77 K and high magnetic fields. In this study, the author discusses the possibility and trapped field properties of a superconducting bulk magnet, as well as the melt processing for bulk superconductors and their characteristic superconducting and mechanical properties. One of the applications is a superconducting bulk magnet for future magnetically levitated (Maglev) trains.
