Abstract: A superconducting magnet coil, an insulating layer, and a superconducting magnet which do not generate quenching under cooled and operational conditions are provided by using a fixing resin capable of suppressing microcrack generation in a resin layer which causes quenching.A superconducting magnet coil manufactured by winding a superconducting wire and fixing the wire with resin and a method for manufacturing thereof, wherein said resin is a low cooling restricted thermal stress and high toughness fixing resin having a release rate of elastic energy G.sub.IC at 4.2 K. of at least 250 J.multidot.m.sup.-2, and/or a stress intensity factor K.sub.IC of at least 1.5 MPa.multidot..sqroot.m, and/or a stress safety factor at 4.2 K. of at least 3, and an allowable defect size at least of 0.3 mm.The superconducting magnet coil manufactured in accordance with the present invention does not cause quenching because microcracks are not generated in said resin when the coil is cooled to the liquid helium temperature, i.e.

Abstract: A superconducting magnet coil is produced by winding a superconducting wire to form a coil; impregnating the coil with a curable resin composition of low viscosity which contains for example at least one epoxy resin selected from the group consisting of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol AF, all having a number-average molecular weight of 350-1,000, a flexibilizer and a curing catalyst, to obtain a curable-resin composition-impregnated coil; and heating the curable-resin-composition-impregnated coil to cure the composition.
