Abstract
This study examines the impact of a pre-boron diffusion process (boriding) on the mechanical properties of unreacted Mg + 2B/Fe wires. Boriding was performed by filling iron tubes with amorphous boron powder and heat-treating them at 850 °C and 950 °C. The primary goal was to reduce the need for intermediate heat treatment during cold drawing and increase the core density of in-situ MgB2/Fe wires by forming hard iron boride phases in advance. Tensile strength, microhardness, and scanning electron microscopy were employed to assess the mechanical properties of the wires. Additionally, the structural and transport properties of reacted in-situ MgB2/Fe mono-core superconducting wires were investigated for various sintering temperatures and times. The results are interpreted in terms of the formation of iron boride (FeB/Fe2B) phases at the core/iron sheath interface region and the diffusion of boron within the superconducting core.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics is an established refereed companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on materials and their applications in modern electronics, covering the ground between fundamental science, such as semiconductor physics, and work concerned specifically with applications. It explores the growth and preparation of new materials, as well as their processing, fabrication, bonding and encapsulation, together with the reliability, failure analysis, quality assurance and characterization related to the whole range of applications in electronics. The Journal presents papers in newly developing fields such as low dimensional structures and devices, optoelectronics including III-V compounds, glasses and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, conducting polymers, thick film materials and new contact technologies, as well as the established electronics device and circuit materials.
