Summary

Comparison studies of the effect of high pressure-high temperature (HP-HT) conditions (2-5 GPa, 800-1100 °C for 10-30 min), created in high-pressure apparatuses (HPA) of different types (recessed-anvil and cube) on Y- and Nd-base melt-textured high-temperature superconductors (or MT-MeBCO, where Me = Y, Nd) shows the advantages of using the cubetype apparatuses in order to reduce or avoid sample cracking, to improve their microhardness and fracture toughness as well as to attain almost theoretically-possible density and some increase in critical current density.
