Abstract

Iron-clad MgB ₂ superconducting wires and tapes were fabricated using the standard powder-in-tube (PIT) method. The starting precursor was ultra-fine Mg and B mixture powder prepared by high-energy ball milling. Very good grain connections as well as grain refinement were obtained. Under 1.5 Tesla external magnetic field, J _c of MgB ₂ tape is 1.07 × 10 ⁵ A/cm ² and 6.54 × 10 ³ A/cm ² at 20 K and 30 K, respectively. An extrapolation to zero field at 20 K gives a J _c of 3.0 × 10 ⁵ A/cm ². A solenoid with a diameter of 12 mm and 12 turns made from MgB ₂ wires demonstrated the potential for large-scale applications. Under 1 Tesla, the critical current of this solenoid is 159 A and 110 A at 20 K and 30 K, respectively.
