In this work, the processing of the superconductor MgB<sub>2</sub> was studied to create a fundamental scientific background for the production of superconducting composite wires. The synthesis of MgB<sub>2</sub> from Mg and B powders was investigated in situ to determine reaction rates and kinetic parameters for the application of powder-in-tube technology...
The impacts of many important technologies are limited by the availability of better-performing materials. One factor limiting the ability of engineers to develop better materials is the speed at which they can search through possible formulations and processing schemes. Recently, machine learning algorithms have emerged as a possible route to...
