Abstract: The invention relates an Al-stabilized superconducting wire for use in a superconducting magnet used in a charging magnetic field, such as a pulse magnet and the like, and particularly to an Al-stabilized superconducting wire having the properties of reduced size and light weight, high current density, high stability, low AC loss, etc., and a method for producing the same. The said Al-stabilized superconducting wire has a core chosen from a superconducting elementary wire, an electrically insulated Cu or a Cu alloy, or a nonmagnetic metal or alloys thereof, and wherein the superconducting elementary wires and high purity Al wires are alternately stranded around said core. The stranded cable is bonded by impregnating it with solder, or further by subjecting it to a reduction process and heat treatment thereby making it possible to obtain an aluminum stabilized superconducting wire having said high properties.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a Nb.sub.3 Sn superconductor comprising the steps of preparing a composite conductor element which is composed of Cu-Sn alloy matrix and one or more Nb cores inserted and disposed in said matrix, if necessary sheathing the outer surface of the Cu-Sn alloy matrix with copper, subjecting the composite conductor element to a diameter reducing working until the predetermined diameter is reached, then forming an Sn-plating layer on the outer surface of the reduced diameter composite conductor element and thereafter subjecting the Sn-plated composite conductor element to diffusion heat treatment so that an intermetallic compound of Nb.sub.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a superconductor covered with a reinforced aluminum matrix, which is obtained by cladding a superconductor with an aluminum matrix reinforced with a very small proportion of alumina dispersed therein and subjecting the clad superconductor to integral forming.
