Fabrication of MgB2/Al Composite Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

Superconductive MgB2/Al composite material with low and high volume fractions of particles were fabricated by our special pre-packing technique and 3-dimensional penetration casting 3DPC method. The composite material showed homogeneous distribution of MgB2 particles in the Al-matrix with neither any aggregation of particles nor defects such as cracks or cavities. The critical temperature of superconducting transition (TC) was determined by electrical resistivity and magnetization to be about 37 ~39K.
