  • Abstract
    Round 100 m long class MgB2 mono-core wires with Fe/Cu composite sheaths were successfully fabricated using an in situ PIT method. The Jc of the round MgB2/(Fe/Cu) wires reached 380 A/mm2 at 4.2 K and 6 T, and exceeded 2500 A/mm2 at 3 T. High areal reduction of the MgB2 core was found to be effective in improving the transport properties of the MgB2 wires. Using a 58 m long MgB2/(Fe/Cu) wire, we made a solenoid coil with 495 turns and tested it in liquid helium. The dimensions of the MgB2 coil were 30 mm in inner diameter, 48 mm in outer diameter, and 50 mm in height. The Ic of the coil reached 214 A, which corresponds to a Jcoil=238 A/mm2 and a core-Jc=1420 A/mm2. The coil generated a magnetic field at a center of Bo=2.05 T and a maximum magnetic field of Bm=2.17 T.
