摘要
The effects of sintering temperature on the superconducting properties of Ti-sheathed MgB2 wires have been studied. The wires were fabricated by in situ powder-in-tube (PIT) method and characterized by x-ray diffraction, magnetization, scanning electron microscopy and transport measurements. Samples were sintered for 30 minutes at the following temperatures: 650 degrees C, 700 degrees C, 750 degrees C, 800 degrees C, and 850 degrees C It is found that the cores of these wires are almost in pure MgB2 superconducting phase, indicating that the T-1-sheath does not react with Mg or B The superconducting transition temperature 71 decreases from 36 K to 34.2 K with the decrease of the sintering temperature from 850 C to 650 degrees C. At 5 K and 20 K, critical current density J(c), peaks up for samples sintered at 800 degrees C, which is in sharp contrast with previously reported result that for Fe-sheathed MgB2 wires, J(c) peaks up at sintering temperature of 650 degrees C
