The article presents the results of laboratory research on the production of multi-core superconducting wires. Multicore wires containing boron and magnesium powders in a copper matrix were obtained in the drawing process combined with intermediate heat treatment. The wires contains powder cores were sintered under high isostatic pressure to produce the MgB2 superconducting phase. The critical temperature for the composite’s superconducting state was determined. The macrostructure and energy dispersion (EDX) analysis of multi-core wires was also presented.
