Problems solved by technology

(2) Due to the soft texture of the silver sheath and the release of stress during high-temperature sintering, it is not conducive to the formation of dense superconducting wire cores
Very dense wires can be obtained using hot isostatic pressing (HIP) [10], but the process is very complex and only suitable for short samples
(3) Ba 0.6 K 0.4 Fe 2 As 2 The system contains highly oxidizable elements Ba, K and As elements. The existing process puts the raw materials in a sealed quartz tube or a high-melting point metal tube, and sinters them under the protection of high vacuum or inert gas to obtain the precursor powder. The process is complicated and time-consuming.
In addition, due to the very active chemical properties of K, As is a highly toxic element, there are potential safety hazards during high-temperature sintering, and higher requirements are placed on the preparation laboratory or production room

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing and conducting cold high pressure densifying on a Cu wrapped Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 superconducting wire. The method is used for improving critical current density of the wire. Based on a traditional powder in tube (PIT) method and a high-energy ball milling powder alloying method, the method adopts a high-energy ball mill to directly prepare simple substance raw materials into superconducting powder, filling mixed powder into a copper tube and rolling the powder into the wire. The rolled wire is sintered in vacuum or under protection of inert gas, or the wire is subjected to cold high pressure densifying processing and then is sintered. The preparation method includes conducting high-energy ball milling on simple substances of Ba, K, Fe and As with the stoichiometric ratio of 0.6: 0.4: 2: 2 to obtain precursor powder, filling the completely mixed powder into the copper tube, and tightly pressing two ends of the copper tube to prepare the wire in pulling and rolling mode. The prepared wire is sintered in vacuum or under protection of inert gas, or the wire is subjected to cold high pressure densifying processing and then is sintered. The critical current density of the Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 superconducting wire prepared by the method under a 4.2K self field reaches 1.5*104A / cm<2> to 2.8*104A / cm<2>.
