Outline of Final Research Achievements |
MgB2 wire is one of the alternative superconducting materials of Nb-Ti wire for the low activation superconducting magnet system to an advanced fusion reactor. We succeeded to fabricate in-situ MgB2 wire using the B-11 isotope powder without nuclear transformation in order to enhance the stability against the neutron irradiation. Jc value was improved with smaller average particle size of the B-11 isotope powder, and the amorphous B-11 isotope powder sample was obtained to above 1,000A/mm2 at 4.2 K under 3 T. Jc-B performance of the amorphous B-11 isotope sample was higher than that of the crystallized B-11 isotope powder. We found that the finer particle amorphous isotope powder was preferable as the boron source material of the low activation MgB2 wires. On the other hand, Jc property under the tensile deformation was improved until 500 MPa of tensile stress. This was caused by the internal compressive stress mitigation around the MgB2 core region due to the tensile deformation.
