The sheath (3) is a material, which includes an aluminium (Al) matrix, in which nanometric aluminium oxide particles (Al.sub.2O.sub.3) are homogenously dispersed, the content of Al.sub.2O.sub.3 is 0.25 to 5 vol. % and the balance is Al. It is preferred that Al.sub.2O.sub.3 originates from the surface layer present on Al powder used as feedstock material for consolidation. The superconductor based on magnesium diboride (MgB.sub.2) core (1) is fabricated by powder-in-tube or internal magnesium diffusion to boron technology, while the tube is the Al+Al.sub.2O.sub.3 composite, which is a product of powder metallurgy. A loose Al powder is pressed by cold isostatic pressing, and then the powder billet is degassed at elevated temperature and under vacuum, and then is hot extruded into a tube. A thin diffusion barrier (2) tube filled up with a mixture of Mg and B powders or Mg wire surrounded with B powder is placed into the Al+Al.sub.2O.sub.3 composite tube under inert gas or vacuum. Such composite unit is cold worked into a thin wire and then annealed at 625-655° C. for 8-90 min, what results in a formation superconducting MgB.sub.2 in a wire's core (1).

A steel, a steel mechanical part, an electronic device, and a preparation method for a steel mechanical part are provided. The steel includes components of the following mass percentages: chromium: 7% to 11%, nickel: 2% to 7.5%, cobalt: 6% to 15%, molybdenum: 4% to 7%, oxygen: a trace to 0.4%, carbon: a trace to 0.35%, and iron: 50% to 80%. The steel provided in this application has relatively high mechanical strength and is not easily deformed, and therefore a risk of fracture caused when an electronic device using the steel falls off from a height is reduced.
