Supravodivé spoje pre MgB2 vinutia v perzistentnom móde
Superconducting joints of MgB2 wires for windings in persistent mode
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Ing. Kováč Pavol, DrSc.
Annotation: The idea of this project is to make and optimize superconducting joints between the composite MgB2 wiresmanufactured by powder-in-tube method „PIT“ and by the infiltration or diffusion of magnesium into boronprocess „IMD“ and use it for winding working in „persistent mode“. It will be done dominantly for superconductingjoints of winding made by „wind and react“ technique, but joints for winding with already reacted MgB2 wiresmade by „react and wind“ process will be developed as well. The properties of manufactured superconductingMgB2 joints of different geometry and architecture will be subjected to mechanical and thermal treatments, which would reach the joint current around 50% of critical current measured for the reference MgB2 wire at external field 5 T.
Duration: 1.1.2022 – 31.12.2025
