Abstract: Proposed is a novel embedded structure for suppressing a disturbance in the cross sectional shape and a non-uniform deformation of a metal member arising in a precursor when producing an MgB2 multi-core wire material by a surface reduction process. This superconductive multi-core wire material precursor is characterized by having: soft Cu and Fe pure metals disposed in the center; mixed powder elements, each comprising as a sheath material a metal such as Fe or Nb having a barrier effect preventing a reaction between Mg and Cu, the mixed powder elements being disposed in a form that surrounds the periphery of the soft metal serving as the central material; and disposed around these, an outer shell layer produced from a harder metal than the central material and the sheath material.

Abstract: The following two problems arise when carbon is added to a starting material powder in the process of production of an MgB2 superconductor: (1) an impurity phase increases; and (2) the degree of substitution of carbon at boron sites is spatially non-uniform. This superconductor production method comprises: a mixing step of mixing a starting material powder and an additive; and a heat treatment step of heat-treating the mixture prepared in the mixing step. The starting material powder is MgB2 powder or a mixed powder of magnesium and boron, and the additive is an Mg—B—C compound containing three elements of magnesium, boron and carbon.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for causing sufficient deformation in precursor particles even when a soft high-purity metal is used for an outer layer material in mechanical milling, and manufacturing an MgB2 superconducting wire. A method for manufacturing an MgB2 superconducting wire in which an MgB2 filament is covered by an outer layer material, the method comprising: subjecting magnesium powder and boron powder to a shock that is insufficient for MgB2 to be clearly produced, and producing precursor particles in which boron particles are dispersed inside a magnesium matrix; filling a metal tub with the precursor particles; processing the metal tube filled with precursor particles to form a wire; and heat-treating the wire to synthesize the MgB2; wherein the method is characterized in that a portion of the wire-drawing step includes swaging.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to increase the critical current density of a wire rod having a shape with good symmetry such as a round wire or a square wire by making use of mechanical milling method. The production method of the present invention for the MgB2 superconducting wire rod comprises a mixing process of preparing a powder by adding a solid organic compound to a magnesium powder and a boron powder and then applying an impact to the powder to prepare a mixture of the powder in which boron particles are dispersed inside magnesium particles, a filling process of filling a metal tube with the mixture, an elongation process of elongating the metal tube filled with the mixture and a heat treatment process of heat-treating the metal tube to synthesize MgB2.
