In this study, we have successfully produced a Fe-sheathed 6+1 multifilament wire using Cu/Nb/MgB2 monocore wires. The mono filament wire was prepared using Mg+2B powder mixture by powder-in-tube method without any intermediate heat treatment. The powder mixture of the amorphous nano boron (PVZ Nano Boron, purity of 98.5%, particle sizes < 250 nm) and high purity Mg powder (PVZ Mg, purity of 99%, particle size 74µm) were used. The multifilament wire was produced using groove rolling and cold drawing machines. The geometrical form of the filaments was examined using wire pieces taken from the wire at different steps throughout the production process. Finally, the multifilament wires produced in two different diameters of 1.02 mm and 0.82 mm were investigated in terms of filament uniformity, crack formation, surface roughness, and electrical transport properties. The structural examination was done on Nb filaments after the Fe and Cu sheaths were etched using HCl and HNO3 solution. The I – V measurements of the multifilament wires heat treated at 650 °C for 15, 30, 45, 60, and 240 minutes, and 700 °C for 60 minutes were carried out for the applied current up to 1 A at 25 K under various external magnetic field.
