ABSTRACT:
Processes for the fabrication of MgB2powder and wires are provided. Powders are produced by mechanically alloying magnesium- and boron-containing precursors under controlled conditions to avoid secondary phase and impurity formation. Powders are also prepared by vapor phase reaction of volatile magnesium- and boron-containing precursors. Wires, tapes, films and coatings are provided.
