Scientific paper

Monofilamentary MgB2-wires with a 2- or 3-component sheath containing mechanical reinforcing stainless steel (SS) were prepared and characterized. In direct contact to the superconductor Nb, Ta or Fe was used. For a selection of samples with a Fe and Fe/SS sheath, we investigated the transport critical current behaviour in magnetic fields changing systematically the geometrical shape from a round wire to a flat tape. A strong increase of the current densities in flat tapes was observed and possible reasons for this are discussed. Reinforcing the sheath in the outer layer with different amounts of stainless steel leads to a systematic field dependent decrease of the transport critical current density with increasing steel amount. This is an indication for a pre-stress induced degradation of the critical currents in MgB2 wires and first Ic-stress-strain experiments seem to confirm this observation and interpretation.
