MgB2

MgB2 wire is a cost-effective superconducting material as it’s critical temperature of 39 K. MgB2 wire maintains superconductivity with lower cost liquid hydrogen or cryocooler instead of using expensive liquid helium.

Since 2011, KAT has developed a various types of MgB2 wire and 4 km piece length wire can be produced.
