Abstract

The present invention belongs to the technical field of superconducting material processing, and discloses a method for preparing an artificially pinned NbTi multi-core superconducting wire. The method uses Nb‑Ti alloy powder to be filled into an oxygen-free copper sheath with an Fe barrier layer sleeve and a Ta tube to obtain an artificially pinned single core rod to prepare an artificially pinned Nb‑Ti superconductor. The barrier layer materials are Ta and Fe. The Fe barrier layer sleeve is used as an inner lining material to form a diffusion reaction with the Nb‑Ti alloy powder to generate an artificial pinning phase. The Ta tube is used as an outer lining material to prevent Fe from diffusing outward, and an oxygen-free copper tube is used as the matrix material. The critical current density at 2T can reach 8000A / mm 2 The Ta element is used to increase the upper critical magnetic field in Nb-Ti superconductors, because the addition of Ta as a spin-orbit scatterer reduces the paramagnetic limit. As a barrier layer, the Ta element can not only block the reaction of Fe and Cu, but also reduce the loss of superconducting wires.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of superconducting material processing, in particular to a method for preparing an artificially pinned NbTi multi-core superconducting wire. Background Art

[0002] Traditional NbTi superconducting wire is a practical superconducting wire composed of multi-core NbTi superconducting wires in a high-purity oxygen-free copper sheath. Superconductors can be used more and more, mainly because of their super strong current carrying capacity. The important performance parameter that reflects the current carrying capacity of superconductors is the critical current density. In industrial mass production, the critical current density is mainly improved by controlling the precipitation amount and size of the second phase α-Ti precipitates through cold processing and aging heat treatment system. α-Ti in NbTi alloy is called the pinning center of superconducting material. The more pinning centers there are, the higher its critical current density. However, since the number of α-Ti precipitates in NbTi alloy is limited, the upper limit of α-Ti precipitation also limits the further improvement of the critical current density of conventional NbTi superconducting wires. Scientists have made various attempts to improve the critical current density of NbTi multi-core superconductors by artificially introducing artificial pinning centers.

[0003] Commonly used methods for preparing NbTi superconductors by artificial pinning include drilling, rolling, powder metallurgy, etc. In the rolling process, Nb, Ti, and artificial pinning materials are usually made into plates, and then the plates are stacked and rolled into cylinders. The combination of Nb, Ti, and artificial pinning materials is not very compact, resulting in uneven deformation of Nb, Ti, and artificial pinning materials during subsequent drawing or rolling processes, resulting in high wire loss during the preparation process and low critical current density of the final product under low field. Summary of the invention
