[EN] Obtaining coatings on metallic substrates of irregular geometries is not easy by traditional methods. In those cases
electrochemical methods show important advantages and have been used successfully. To date only silver has shown to be
inert with respect to superconducting cuprates, although progress has been made in the development of intermediate buffer
layers. However, in the particular case of YBa2Cu3O7 , annealing above the cuprate superconducting melting point to attempt
densification or texturing is hard on silver because of the lower melting point of the metal. .
