摘要:
Nb3Sn has good superconducting properties in the background magnetic field above 10 T, Nb3Sn superconducting joints in high field magnet equipment can be connected with Nb3Sn superconducting bulks. By fabricating different powder metallurgy Nb3Sn superconducting bulks, the effects of pressure and ball milling on Nb3Sn phase formation and superconducting properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to analyze the phase composition and surface microstructure of mixed powder and heat-treated Nb3Sn bulks on different preparation conditions. Physical property measurement system (PPMS) was used to analyze the superconducting properties and superconducting phase content of different Nb3Sn bulks. The results suggested that the pressure of powder shaping had a great influence on the density of the bulks, When the pressure was 30 MPa, the density of the bulk was 8.03 g•cm-3, but the density hardly increased when the pressure up to 40 MPa. The average particle size of powders would be affected by the milling time, when the ball milling time was 15 h, the average particle size of the original powder was reduced from 100 μm to about 10 μm. The superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of the samples with different ball milling time had little difference, but the longer the time, the higher the critical current density (Jc). By changing the pressure and ball milling time, Nb3Sn superconducting bulks were obtained successfully and its critical transition temperature was 17.6 K, critical current density was 150 A•mm-2 under the background magnetic field of 10 T. © Editorial Office of Chinese Journal of Rare Metals.
