MgB2 Hollow Wires and Cables Embedded in a Mg Alloy Matrix

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Davide Uglietti

The brittleness of the MgB2 wires prevents performing a cable architecture with very small bending radius, similar to NbTi Rutherford cables. Consequently, it is important to reduce the thickness of the superconducting materials in order to increase its be ...
