The Role of CHPD and AIMI processing on enhancing J(C) and transverse connectivity of in-situ MgB(2) strand

Research into in-situ MgB(2) strand has been focused on improvements in J(C) through reduction of porosity. Both of cold-high-pressure-densification (CHPD) and advanced-internal-magnesium-infiltration (AIMI) techniques can effectively remove the voids in in-situ MgB(2) strands. This study shows the...

Sumario:Research into in-situ MgB(2) strand has been focused on improvements in J(C) through reduction of porosity. Both of cold-high-pressure-densification (CHPD) and advanced-internal-magnesium-infiltration (AIMI) techniques can effectively remove the voids in in-situ MgB(2) strands. This study shows the nature of the reduced porosity for in-situ MgB(2) strands lies on increases in transverse grain connectivity as well as longitudinal connectivity. The CHPD method bi-axially applying 1.0 GPa and 1.5 GPa yielded 4.2 K J(CM∥)s of 9.6 × 10(4) A/cm(2) and 8.5 × 10(4) A/cm(2) at 5 T, respectively, with compared with 6.0 × 10(4) A/cm(2) for typical powder-in-tube (PIT) in-situ strand. Moreover, AIMI-processed monofilamentary MgB(2) strand obtained even higher J(C)s and transverse grain connectivity than the CHPD strands.
