Abstract — Recent progress in manufacturing of bi-axially textured buffers on cylinders via ion beam technology is reported. Ultimately, these buffered substrates should allow processing of HTS coated cylinders with small radius. It was confirmed by XRD (θ-2θ and φ-scan) that the YSZ [001] direction is normal to the substrate surface and the in-plane misalignment was better than FWHM=9 degrees for the both substrate types. These results were additionally confirmed by X-ray measurements of YBCO films deposited onto these bi-textured buffers.
