Abstract: In present paper, study of magnetization behaviour was carried out for textured bulk YBaCuO polycrystalline superconductors synthesized by MTG process. The magnetization behaviour apparently different from that of sintered samples was observed. Magnetization hysteresis measurements were performed for the textured YBaCuO superconductors at 77K in± 10kOe magnetic field range. Based on the results of magnetization hysteresis, the magnetic field dependence of critical current density (Jc) at 77K was evaluated for the textured YBaCuO samples. The magnetic flux penetration in textured bulk YBaCuO polycrystalline superconductors was investigated at 77K through the magnetization hysteresis measurements under various maximum applied magnetic fields (HM) and reasonable discussion for the phenomena was conducted in terms of Bean's critical state model. The enhancement of magnetic properties for textured hulk YBaCuO polycrystalline superconductors is presumably attributed to the improvement of microstructure in these samples.
