Abstract:
1. A method for the production of superconductor wires based on hollow filaments made of MgB 2 , which comprises: a) the formation of a composite billet by means of the coaxial insertion in a tubular metallic container of a cylindrical bar made of metallic magnesium and amorphous boron powder, in the interspace between the container and bar, said powder being pressed between the metallic container and the magnesium bar, in such a quantity that the weight ratio magnesium/boron is higher than 1.2; b) at least one plastic deformation treatment of the composite billet thus obtained until a wire with a prefixed diameter is obtained, with the subsequent winding of the wire onto a support; c) a thermal treatment of the filament product thus obtained, at a temperature ranging from 700° C. to 950° C. for a time ranging from 15 minutes to three hours.
