Resumen:
Since its discovery, MgB2 is presented as a candidate to replace conventional superconductors in several applications such as SMES and Magnetic Resonators. This possibility is based on its critical temperature (Tc), its low cost, and the possibility of forming cables by the ?Powder In Tube? (PIT) method. Considerable research has been carried out to optimize the material and the cableconformation. It was determined that the superconducting properties can be improved by inducing changes in the microstructure, with different synthesis methods, and/or the crystalline structure, by doping. In this work, two different samples were prepared and characterized to find convenient methods to improve the material and the cables superconducting properties without increasing thecost.
