The effect of processing atmosphere on the microstructure and superconducting properties of MgB 2 was studied for bulk samples made using the in situ reaction technique under argon gas with three different levels of purity: ultra-high, high, and welding grade. The critical temperature, T c , decreased by 0.5 K, while the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the MgB 2 peaks, and the resistivity showed an increase in the sample processed in welding Ar . The critical current density, J c , and the upper critical field, H c 2, for the welding Ar sample were improved in comparison with the samples treated in ultra-high and high purity argon. Optimal J c in MgB 2 can be achieved by using readily available and economical welding grade Ar as the protective atmosphere instead of using ultra-high or high purity Ar .
