摘要
Pore structures and grain connectivity of magnesium diboride (MgB2) were examined. Poor densification is mainly due to random packing of angular MgB2 grains which conform to its crystal structure. The use of an excess Mg to stoichiometric MgB2 improved densification by filling intergranualr void spaces. The addition of C or Cu was also beneficial for grain connectivity by modifying the morphology of grains. In particular, ex situ reaction of pre-alloyed MgB2 with an excess Mg and the addition of Cu markedly reduced the pores, resulting in enhanced critical density. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
