The top-seeded infiltration and growth process (TSIG) is an important method to fabricate YBCO bulk superconductors. In this paper, single domain YBCO superconductors with different Gd2Ba4CuWOx (GdW2411) additions have been fabricated by TSIG process, the amount of GdW2411 added to Y2BaCuO5 (Y211) is in the range from 0wt% to 8 wt%, but there is no other additions to the liquid source. The growth morphology, microstructure and levitation force of the YBCO bulks have been investigated, it is found that the levitation force is increasing from 14 to 25 N with the increasing of GdW2411 addition from 0 to 4 wt%, and decreasing from 25 to 7 N with the increasing of GdW2411 addition from 4 to 8 wt%, the largest levitation force is obtained when the GdW2411 content is about 4 wt%. This is helpful for the fabrication of high quality YBCO bulk superconductors.
