MgB2

Benefits of MgB2

 

• The lowest cost in the market 

• Superconducting properties at 20-25K range

• Utilisation with conventional cryocoolers eliminates the need for liquid helium

• Compared to low temperature superconductors MgB2 lowers life cycle cost

• Suitable for large scale industrial applications

• High magnetic field strengths are achieved compared to permanent magnets making MgB2 an ideal candidate for wind turbines

• A combination of liquid H2 and MgB2 opens new opportunities in electrical power applications
