High temperature superconductor has become one of the hotspots of research, because of its high critical temperature, strong trapped flux density, stable suspension characteristics and large magnet levitation force. The single domain REBa2Cu3O7–δ (REBCO) superconductors have the wide and potential applications in the high-tech fields, such as micro-magnet superconducting maglev train, superconducting motor and superconducting magnetic separation system. However, a large number of multi-domain samples are easy to produce in the preparation process, which leads the success rate to decrease significantly and the cost to increase considerably, which restricts its practical application process. Inspired by the top seeded infiltration growth method, we develop a reliable method of recycling failed GdBCO sample by re-supplementing the liquid phase lost in the primary growth process and pretreating the failed sample as solid phase source billets. We recycle a series of GdBCO samples by using this new technique successfully. The growth morphology, superconducting properties, and microstructures of the recycled GdBCO bulk superconductors are investigated in detail in this study. The results show that the magnetic levitation forces of the recycled GdBCO samples are all greater than 30 N, their magnetic flux densities are all above 0.3 T, and their capture efficiencies are above 60%. These results provide the scientific basis and new ideas for developing the low cost and high efficient yield of fabrication of the REBCO bulk superconductors.
