With the development of weak magnetic detection methods, the sensors, like superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), become more and more sensitive. The magnetic shielding takes a more important part in weak signal detection systems than before. Traditional magnetic shielding methods are expensive, not flexible, and hard to prevent the low-frequency magnetic field clearly. For the superconducting magnetic shield, the operating temperature of a low critical temperature superconducting magnetic shield has high demand on refrigerating system. The high critical temperature superconducting magnetic shielding would introduce thermal magnetic noise. Due to the excellent superconductive property, the medium-temperature superconductor MgB2 has a huge potential to build the magnetic shielding system. In this article, we fabricate an MgB2 superconducting magnetic shielding cup with Mg Liquid Infiltration method. The highest TC of the sample is 39.4 K. The highest JC is 106 A/cm2 at 4.2 K. The shielding effect of the cup has been tested at axial dc weak magnetic field and the shielding factor exceeds 2000.
