Sintering of bulk YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub x} (123) samples has been conducted from 850 to 1010{degrees}C in oxygen partial pressures (P{sub O2}) of 2.5 {times} 10{sup 2} to 10{sup 5} Pa. The final grain sizes of the samples were controlled by selective use of (1) liquid phases and (2) partial decomposition of the 123 phase by sintering in a P{sub O2} that was lower than the minimum needed for 123 stability. In nearly fully dense samples, it was found that the grain size could range from about 1 to 500 {mu}m, depending on the processing conditions.
