Abstract
Ti, Zr-doped dense MgB2/Fe/Cu wires were successfully fabricated adopting the in-situ powder-in-tube (PIT) method using low carbon steel sheath. The short samples wires were sintered at 650-850°C for 2-5 h in argon. Critical current density (Jc) of the wires was measured at 4.2 K in the magnetic field up to 8 T by standard four probe method. High Jc values of 2.1 × 105A/cm2 were obtained in 3 T at 4.2 K for MgB2/Fe/Cu wires. Mg0.9Zr0.1B2/Fe/Cu wires sintered at 800°C heat the highest Jc. The microstructure observation for wires showed that MgB2/Fe/Cu wires have better grain connectivity and higher density compared to MgB2 bulk samples. The Jc can be further improved to meet the requirement for applications by optimizing the process conditions.
