    Abstract

    The influences of microstructure, connectivity, and disorder on the critical current density, Jc, are discussed to clarify the different mechanisms of Jc(H) in different magnetic field ranges for in-situ and combined in-situ/ex-situ MgB2/Fe wires. Sintering temperature plays a very important role in the electromagnetic properties at different temperatures and under various magnetic fields. Connectivity, upper critical field, Hc2, and irreversibility field, Hirr , are studied to demonstrate the mechanism of Jc dependence on magnetic field. The combined in-situ/ex-situ process is proved to be a promising technique for fabrication of practical MgB2 wires.
