Abstract
The structure of bulk MgB2 specimens after cold deformation in Bridgeman anvils and “Toroid” chamber and following recovery annealings has been studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. It is demonstrated that in spite of the matrix phase grain coarsening by 5-7 times under annealing compared to the as-deformed state, the critical current density increases by a factor of 3 (6.7×104 A/cm2 at 30 K after deformation in the “Toroid” chamber and recovery annealing).
