heal.abstract	MgB2 samples were prepared from Mg and B powders / flakes using the powder in tube method and consequent sintering in Argon atmosphere at 960 degrees C. Compaction of the Mg flakes and B powder resulted in a two phase alloy, with almost zero porosity and high hardness. XDR patterns illustrated that when Mg flakes and B powder were used as the precursor materials, formation of MgB2 was not possible except for the border interface of Mg and B. Diffusion was not completed due to the low specific area. Contrary to that, the use of Mg and B fine powders lead to well packed superconductive MgB2 samples.	en
