The invention relates to a method for preparing a
magnesium boride superconducting line and belt material. The preparation method is that a. preparation of precursor
powder:
high magnesium diboride MgBx
powder is taken as the precursor
powder, wherein, x is more than or equal to 4 and less than or equal to 12; or
magnesium powder and
amorphism boron powder are mixed according to 1:3-20 of stoichiometric ratio between
magnesium and
boron to form the precursor powder; b. putting into a magnesium
pipe: the precursor powder is put into a magnesium
pipe, compacted and sealed; c. putting into a canning
pipe: the magnesium pipe is put into a
metal canning pipe and is sealed after the
metal canning pipe is fully filled with
metal powder as a
barrier layer; or the magnesium pipe is first put into a
barrier layer metal pipe and then is put into the metal canning pipe and the metal canning pipe is sealed; d. moulding treatment: the metal canning pipe is produced into line and belt material; e. heat treatment: the metal canning pipe is put into a pipe typed furnace and under the protection of
argon, the temperature is raised to 700-1200 DEG C by the speed of 1-10 DEG C / minute, preserved for 1-30 hours and then cooled to
room temperature. The MgB2 superconducting line and belt material prepared by the method has high compactability, good grain
connectivity and even cross section.
