Transport properties of bicrystal grain boundary (BGB) junctions were studied in cobalt-doped BaFe_2 As_2 (BaFe_2 As_2 :Co) epitaxial films grown on [001]-tilt bicrystal substrates of MgO and (La, Sr)(Al, Ta)O_3 with misorientation angles θ_GB=3-45o. A transition from a strongly-coupled GB behavior to a weak-link behavior was observed in current density- voltage characteristics under self-field around θ_GB ~9°. This result clarifies that the high performance thin-film coated conductors using iron-based superconductors can be fabricated when we employ a metal-tape substrate with the in-plane orientation <9°.
