PIT method for obtaining of MgB2 wires with SiC powder added

The most popular process of MgB2 wire fabrication is the so-called in situ powder-in-tube (PIT) process, which is characterized by filing metallic tubes with Mg and B mixed powder, drawing and rolling the material into wires and, finally, by applying a heat treatment. X-ray diffraction analyses were...

Description
Summary:The most popular process of MgB2 wire fabrication is the so-called in situ powder-in-tube (PIT) process, which is characterized by filing metallic tubes with Mg and B mixed powder, drawing and rolling the material into wires and, finally, by applying a heat treatment. X-ray diffraction analyses were carried out for MgB2 cores and SiC-added wires. XRD patterns reveal that nearly single-phase MgB2 was obtained. Also, in this paper are presented the obtained magnetization curves.
