Abstract
A method for manufacturing a stress controlled wire comprises the step of twisting superconductor fibers together into a bundle of fibers. A plurality of bundles are then twisted together and disposed within the lumen of a tube and the lumen is flooded with solder which is allowed to harden. The tube and its contents are subsequently heated as they are wound upon a drum to melt the solder and allow realignment of the superconductor fibers within the solder. The subsequent solidification of solder after the tube is wound onto the drum provides an unstressed support for the fiber bundles.
