Abstract
An A-15 type superconductor compound having the composition A.sub.3 B composed of niobium (element A) and at least one element (B) selected from gallium, aluminum and germanium is produced by coating at least one element B on a substrate of niobium, heat-treating the coated niobium substrate at a temperature of 500.degree. to 2,000.degree. C. for 1 second to 300 hours to form intermetallic compounds of niobium and the coated element which are richer in element B than A-15 A.sub.3 B compound, and thereafter subjecting the substrate to the irradiation of high density energy beams such as electron beams or laser beams to form the A-15 type superconductor compound having the composition A.sub.3 B.
