Stability of multi-core MgB2/Ti/Cu/SS wires

Stability of 19-filaments MgB2/Ti/Cu/SS wires carrying the transport currents has been examined. Properties of two identical wires annealed at 600 °C/2.5 h and 800 °C/0.5 h were compared. It was found that annealing conditions influence not only the current carrying capacity of MgB2 filaments but al...

Descrição
Resumo:Stability of 19-filaments MgB2/Ti/Cu/SS wires carrying the transport currents has been examined. Properties of two identical wires annealed at 600 °C/2.5 h and 800 °C/0.5 h were compared. It was found that annealing conditions influence not only the current carrying capacity of MgB2 filaments but also affect the inter-diffusion at Ti/Cu and Cu/SS interfaces, which is worsening the electrical and thermal conductivities of composite elements. Consequently, differences in wire's resistances and I-V quenches were measured, which are correlating well with experimentally estimated minimum quench energy and normal zone propagation velocity. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
