AbstractSintered powders and wires of superconducting $MgB_2$ have been fabricated under a variety of conditions in order to determine details of the diffusion of the $Mg$ into $B$ and to study the types of defects that arise during growth. For samples prepared by exposure of boron to $Mg$ vapor at $950^{circ}C$, the conversion of particles of less than $100mu m$ size particles to $MgB_2$ is complete in about $2 h$. The lattice parameters of the $MgB_2$ phase determined from X-ray are independent of the starting stoichiometry and the time of reaction. Wire segments of $MgB_2$ with very little porosity have been produced by reacting $141 mu m$ diameter boron fibers in an atmosphere of excess $Mg$ vapor at $950^{circ}C$. Defects in the reacted fibers are predominantly the voids left as the boron is converted to $MgB_2$.
