Abstract
PbMo6S8 wires were made using a cold powder metallurgy process. The initial powder was a mixture of PbS, Mo, MoS2 and Sn, so that the stoichiometry was Pb:Mo:S:Sn = 1.05: 6.2: 8:x, where x varied from 0 to 0.6. We optimized the heat treatment conditions of small coils and measured their transport critical current densities as a function of x and the applied magnetic field B. The best result was 1.5 × 108 A/m2 at 20 T and 5.5 × 107 A/m2 at 27 T, achieved on a 1000 mm long wound wire.
