Summary The influence of a presintering treatment on Y-Ba-Cu-O prepared by a modified MPMG process was investigated. The sinterization, reducing the material porosity, was found to enhance the homogeneity of the Y2BaCuO5 (Y-211) particles distribution during the partial melting at 1100°C. As a consequence, the melttextured YBa2Cu3O7−x (Y-123) grows more uniformly producing oriented domain up to 3cm in size. Microstructural and diffractometrical analyses were performed on samples quenched at different stages during the thermal treatment.
