Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of superconducting wire preparation, and in particular to a device and method for rapidly preparing high-density MgB2 wire. Background Art
[0002] Since its discovery in 2001, magnesium diboride (MgB2) has been studied as a next-generation practical superconducting material for over 20 years and has made significant progress. Its critical transition temperature (Tc) of 39K is close to the McMillan limit of 40K predicted by BCS theory, making it a classic BCS superconductor. MgB2 has a coherence length of 6-7 nanometers and a simple hexagonal crystal structure. The distance between boron atoms within a boron layer is smaller than that between adjacent boron atoms, resulting in anisotropy. Unlike high-temperature oxide superconductors, MgB2 lacks weak links at its grain boundaries. Compared to low-temperature superconductors (NbTi and Nb3Sn), MgB2 boasts abundant raw material resources and low manufacturing costs. Furthermore, MgB2 is expected to be usable at temperatures around 20K. It has entered the practical research stage, with several companies, including Columbus in Italy and Hyper Tec in the United States, already engaged in commercial production. The resulting MgB2 wire and ribbon have been successfully applied in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), superconducting cables, and superconducting motors.
[0003] Practical MgB2 multi-core superconducting wires are usually prepared using the in-situ powder loading method (in-situ PIT), which involves loading Mg powder and B powder into a metal tube and processing it into a single-core rod through methods such as spinning, drawing and rolling.
[0004] The traditional in-situ powder-in-tube (PIT) method for preparing MgB2 precursor powder often involves grinding Mg and B powders in a mortar and pestle in a glove box at an atomic ratio of 1:2. Typically, 1 hour of grinding yields 5g of the mixed Mg and B precursor powder. However, when preparing kilometer-scale multi-core wires, 200g to 400g of mixed precursor powder is often required, significantly extending the grinding time to 40-80 hours, significantly prolonging a single experiment. Furthermore, manual extrusion is often used during the tube-forming process, resulting in less than ideal density for the prepared MgB2, leading to low overall wire performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for rapidly preparing high-density MgB2 wire, so as to overcome the combined problems in the prior art of long time and small amount of grinding MgB2 precursor powder and low density in the traditional manual tube filling process, resulting in long wire preparation time / low performance.

[0013] The barrel cover is flippably connected to the open end of the top of the barrel body through a hinge, and a plurality of lock buckles are provided at positions corresponding to the barrel cover and the barrel body.
[0014] A handle is welded on the left side of the top end of the barrel cover.
[0015] An alloy upper cover is welded and fixed on the telescopic driver.
[0016] The method for preparing a high-density MgB2 superconducting wire using the above-mentioned equipment comprises the following steps:
[0017] Step 1: Mg and B powders are mixed in an atomic ratio of 1:2, and ground and mixed in a glove box using a precursor powder mixing device to obtain a precursor powder; the ground precursor powder is packed into a high-density tube using a precursor powder tube loading device, and then assembled into a Cu / Nb / MgB2 single core rod in a Cu / Nb tube, which is processed to a certain size by swaging and drawing; a Nb rod is placed in a Cu tube to be assembled into a Cu / Nb center rod, which is processed to a certain size by swaging or drawing;
[0018] Step 2: The Cu / Nb / MgB2 single core rods and Cu / Nb center rods of the same size are cut to length and cut in sequence, and then placed in a Monel tube to assemble into an "n+m" core composite sheath, where n is the number of Cu / Nb / MgB2 single core rods and m is the number of Cu / Nb center rods;
[0019] Step 3: The composite sheath is subjected to spinning and drawing processing. During the processing, different processing wire diameters are selected, and then the spinning and drawing processes are continued until the wire is processed to the final finished wire size: Φ0.83mm~Φ1.4mm;
[0020] Step 4: Perform final heat treatment on the finished wire to obtain MgB2 multi-core superconducting wire.
[0021] The specific implementation method of using the precursor powder mixing device to mix the precursor powder in step 1 is as follows: open the barrel cover in the precursor powder mixing device, use an electronic balance to weigh Mg and B powders with an atomic ratio of 1:2, pour them into the precursor powder mixing device, start the motor, and rotate the stirring blade at high speed for a predetermined time to obtain a mixed precursor powder.
[0022] The specific implementation method of using the precursor powder tube loading device to load the tube in step 1 is as follows: select a Nb tube of appropriate size for loading, adjust the magnetic widening pipe to an appropriate size according to the selected Nb tube size, place the Nb tube into the magnetic widening pipe, and then select an extrusion disc of appropriate diameter; after completing the above steps, add the precursor powder obtained from the precursor powder mixing device from the feed port, start the precursor powder tube loading device, and after one extrusion is completed, retract the pressure arm back to the initial position, add precursor powder again, and repeat the above steps to obtain a high-density Nb / MgB2 single-core rod.
[0023] In the implementation step 1 mentioned above, a control experiment was designed to weigh the same mass of Mg and B powders and mix them according to the atomic ratio of 1:2. One group was not ground and piped using the above equipment, and the other group was ground and piped using the above equipment.
[0024] In step 2 above, four wires were drawn and subsequently analyzed for performance. One wire was 18+1 MgB2, obtained using the apparatus described above. The other wire was 18+1 MgB2, obtained without the apparatus. A second control wire was 30+6 MgB2, obtained using the apparatus described above. The other wire was 30+6 MgB2, obtained without the apparatus.
[0025] The specific method of performing the final heat treatment on the finished wire in step 4 is: heating the wire to 560°C~670°C in an inert gas environment for 30min~60min and keeping the temperature for 1h~4h.
[0026] The principle behind this invention is that the MgB2 preparation process requires long grinding times, and processing a batch of wire can often require extensive manual grinding. Furthermore, manual tubing results in less-than-ideal wire density. This significantly increases the number of voids after annealing, reducing the wire's ultimate performance. Furthermore, low-density wires are prone to hardening during processing, leading to uneven deformation of multi-core wires and the occurrence of voids, which in turn degrades wire performance.
[0027] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that, when comparing 18+1 core wires using the above-mentioned equipment with those not using the above-mentioned equipment, the overall precursor powder processing time is reduced by 22 hours, the final wire density is increased by 18%, and Jc is 1.4 times that of the unused device, reaching 1.44×105A / cm2 in a 5K environment. 2 @5k. When comparing 30+6 core wires with and without the above-mentioned device, the overall precursor powder processing time was reduced by 32 hours, the final wire density increased by 21%, and Jc was 1.7 times that of the wire without the device, reaching 2.36×105A / cm at 5K. 2 @5k.
[0028] The present invention provides a precursor powder mixing device for rapidly grinding MgB2 precursor powder wires and a precursor powder loading device for machine-extruded tube-filled precursor powders. The precursor powder mixing device can provide a voltage of 220V and perform large-scale grinding of weighed precursor powder wires in a glove box, thereby obtaining large quantities of precursor powders in a short period of time and avoiding the large amount of time consumed by grinding powders. This can reduce production time costs, reduce labor expenditures, and improve production efficiency. The precursor powder loading device for machine-extruded tube-filled precursor powders can provide a voltage of 220V for machine tube filling in a glove box, thereby solving the problems of low density, time-consuming costs, and low performance caused by manual tube filling.

[0038] The method for preparing a high-density MgB2 superconducting wire using the above-mentioned equipment comprises the following steps:
[0039] Step 1: Mg and B powders are mixed in an atomic ratio of 1:2, and ground and mixed in a glove box using a precursor powder mixing device to obtain a precursor powder; the ground precursor powder is packed into a high-density tube using a precursor powder tube loading device, and then assembled into a Cu / Nb / MgB2 single core rod in a Cu / Nb tube, which is processed to a certain size by swaging and drawing; a Nb rod is placed in a Cu tube to be assembled into a Cu / Nb center rod, which is processed to a certain size by swaging or drawing;
[0040] Step 2: The Cu / Nb / MgB2 single core rods and Cu / Nb center rods of the same size are cut to length and cut in sequence, and then placed in a Monel tube to assemble into an "n+m" core composite sheath, where n is the number of Cu / Nb / MgB2 single core rods and m is the number of Cu / Nb center rods;
[0041] Step 3: The composite sheath is subjected to spinning and drawing processing. During the processing, different processing wire diameters are selected, and then the spinning and drawing processes are continued until the wire is processed to the final finished wire size: Φ0.83mm~Φ1.4mm;
[0042] Step 4: The finished wire is subjected to a final heat treatment, specifically, the wire is heated to 560°C to 670°C in an inert gas environment for 30 to 60 minutes and then kept at this temperature for 1 to 4 hours to obtain a MgB2 multi-core superconducting wire.
[0043] The specific implementation method for mixing the precursor powder using the precursor powder mixing device in step 1 is as follows: the barrel lid 11 of the precursor powder mixing device is opened, Mg and B powders with an atomic ratio of 1:2 are weighed using an electronic balance, and then poured into the precursor powder mixing device. The motor is started, and the stirring blades 14 rotate at high speed for a predetermined time to obtain mixed precursor powder. The spoiler ribs prevent the powder from adhering to the inner side of the barrel 1, resulting in less powder being weighed than actually obtained.
[0044] The specific implementation method of using the precursor powder pipe loading device to load the pipe in step 1 is as follows: select a Nb tube of appropriate size for loading, adjust the magnetic widening pipe 09 to an appropriate size according to the selected Nb tube size, place the Nb tube into the magnetic widening pipe 09, and then select an extrusion disc of appropriate diameter; after the above steps are completed, use the precursor powder obtained from the precursor powder mixing device to add it from the feed port, start the precursor powder pipe loading device, and after one extrusion is completed, retract the pressure arm 07 back to the initial position, add precursor powder again, and repeat the above steps to obtain a high-density Nb / MgB2 single-core rod.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] Step 1: Weigh 34.45 g of Mg powder and 30.55 g of B powder in a glove box, grind and mix them using a precursor powder mixing device to obtain precursor powder, and use a precursor powder tube loading device to load the precursor powder into a Cu / Nb tube in multiple times using the telescopic pressure arm 07 and the feedback of the pressure sensor to assemble into a Cu / Nb / MgB2 single core rod, and pull the single core rod to Φ2.44 mm by spinning and drawing; load the Nb rod into the Cu tube to form a Cu / Nb center rod, and pull the center rod to Φ2.44 mm by spinning and drawing.
[0047] Step 2: After drawing the Cu / Nb / MgB2 single-core rods and Cu / Nb center rods prepared in step 1 to Φ2.44 mm, cut them into 75 cm long wires, including 18 Cu / Nb / MgB2 single-core rods and 1 Cu / Nb center rod. These wires are then placed in a Monel sheath with the center rod in the middle and the surrounding Cu / Nb / MgB2 single-core rods closely packed, to form an 18+1 core composite sheath.
[0048] Step 3: Process the 75cm wire prepared in Step 2. The Monel / (Cu / Nb / MgB2) wire, initially sized at Φ14mm, is spun and broken. After being spun to Φ10.5mm, it is drawn. Roller dies are used to process the wire to Φ8.6mm, Φ7.6mm, and Φ5.9mm to eliminate stress. This allows the wire to be processed to the desired length. After using the roller die at Φ5.9mm, all remaining dies are processed using round dies until the wire is finally processed to Φ1.0mm.
[0049] Step 4: The composite wire drawn to Φ1.0mm in step 4 is placed in an argon atmosphere in a GLX1400 tube furnace. Specifically, the two wires are wrapped with Nb foil and placed in a magnetic boat. The temperature is raised from 25℃ to 630℃ at 5℃ / min in the tube furnace. After 121 minutes, the temperature is raised to 630℃ and kept at this temperature for 120 minutes before cooling. The wire is taken out after cooling to room temperature. After testing and calculation, the overall density of the wire is 57.82%, and the critical current density Jc of the wire reaches 1.44×105A / cm 2 @5k
[0050] At the same time, the wire that was drawn according to the above steps without using the precursor powder mixing device and the precursor powder tube device was calculated and tested. It can be found that the wire density without using the precursor powder mixing device and the precursor powder tube device is only 49% and 1.02×105A / cm 2 @5k, and the initial grinding and tube loading time is as long as 23 hours.
[0051] Example 2
[0052] Step 1: Weigh 53g of Mg powder and 47g of B powder in a glove box, grind and mix them using a precursor powder mixing device to obtain precursor powder, and use a precursor powder tube loading device to load the precursor powder into a Cu / Nb tube in multiple times using the telescopic pressure arm 07 and the feedback of the pressure sensor to assemble into a Cu / Nb / MgB2 single-core wire, and draw the single-core rod to Φ1.76mm by spinning and drawing; load the Nb rod into the Cu tube to form a Cu / Nb center rod, and draw the center rod to Φ1.76mm by spinning and drawing.
[0053] Step 2: After drawing the Cu / Nb / MgB2 single-core rods and Cu / Nb center rods prepared in step 1 to Φ1.76mm, cut them into 75cm long wires, including 30 Cu / Nb / MgB2 single-core wires and 7 Cu / Nb center rods. Place them in a Monel sheath with the center rod in the middle and the surrounding Cu / Nb / MgB2 single-core rods closely packed, to assemble a 30+7-core composite sheath.
[0054] Step 3: Process the 75cm wire prepared in Step 2 by spinning the Monel / (Cu / Nb / MgB2) with an initial size of Φ14mm. After the initial size is spun to Φ10.5mm, it is drawn. When drawing to Φ8.6mm, Φ8.1mm, Φ7.6mm, Φ5.9mm, Φ5.3mm, Φ4.7mm, Φ2.9mm, and other sizes, roller dies are used to eliminate the stress of the wire itself. This allows the wire to be processed to the desired length. After using the roller die at Φ2.9mm, all remaining dies are processed using round dies until the wire is finally processed to Φ1.0mm.
[0055] Step 4: The composite wire drawn to Φ1.0mm in step 4 is placed in an argon atmosphere in a GLX1400 tube furnace. Specifically, the two wires are wrapped with Nb foil and placed in a magnetic boat. The temperature is raised from 25℃ to 620℃ at 5℃ / min in the tube furnace. After 116 minutes, the temperature is raised to 620℃ and kept at this temperature for 120 minutes before cooling. The wire is taken out after cooling to room temperature. After testing and calculation, the overall density of the wire is 56.87%, and the critical current density Jc of the wire reaches 2.36×105A / cm 2 @5k.
[0056] At the same time, the wire that was drawn according to the above steps without using the precursor powder mixing device and the precursor powder tube device was calculated and tested. It can be found that the wire density without using the precursor powder mixing device and the precursor powder tube device is only 47% and 1.39×105A / cm 2 @5k. And the initial grinding and tube loading time is as long as 33 hours.
