The invention relates to a superconductor manufacturing method and a superconductor manufactured by the method. More particularly, the invention is concerned wih an oxide superconductor of lamellar perovskite type and a method of manufacturing the same having extemely high critical temperature and critical current density as compared with conventional alloy superconductors or intermetallic compound superconductos. The superconductor is expressed by

Substituted YiBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 oxide superconductor

A method of producing a superconductor including a superconductive oxide. At least one material is pressed for forming a filling material, the at least one material being selected from the group consisting of a starting material powder of the superconductive oxide, a powder of the superconductive oxide and a compact made of the starting material powder and/or the superconductive oxide powder, for forming a filling material. The filling material is charged into a metallic pipe to form a preform. The preform is moved along an axis thereof. During moving, the preform is swaged perpendicularly to the axis thereof to form a composite having a metallic sheath, made of the metallic pipe, and a core sheathed with the metallic sheath. The core of the composite is heated for producing the superconductive oxide.

Method of producing a superconductive oxide conductor

A method of producing a superconducting cable or a coil including an A-B-C-D system superconductor where the A includes an element of group IIIa of the Periodic Table, the B an element of group IIa of the Periodic Table, C copper, D oxygen. A plurality of filaments are selected from a copper alloy filament including: a copper alloy filament including the A element; copper alloy filament including the B element; a copper alloy filament including both the elements the A and the B; a first metallic filament having particles of a copper oxide, copper halide or copper sulfide dispersed therein; a second metallic filament coated with an oxide layer; a copper filament containing the A element and having particles of a copper oxide, copper halide or copper sulfide dispersed therein; a copper filament containing the B element and having particles of a copper oxide, copper halide or copper sulfide dispersed therein; a third metallic filament containing the A element and coated with an oxide layer; a fourth metallic filament containing the B element and coated with an oxide layer; the first to fourth metallic filaments being substantially free of any component which provides an adverse effect on the production of the superconductor. The selected filaments are arranged to form element filaments bundle so that the superconductor is produced in a subsequent heat treatment. The bundle is drawn and then heated under an oxidizing atmosphere for producing the superconductor.

Method of producing oxide superconducting cables and coils using copper

A method of producing a superconducting wire including A-B-C-D system oxide superconductor wherein A is an at least one element of group IIIa of the Periodic Table, B is an at least one alkali earth metal, C includes Cu and D includes O. In the method, a material containing at least one of both A and B is arranged inside or outside an elongated tubular coating layer, which includes a copper alloy and at least the other one, to form a composite element. Then, the composite element undergoes a heat treatment to produce the superconductor.
