Abstract
Continuous malleable superconductive material which can be machined, rolled and soldered, being the product of sintering at an elevated temperature and pressure of a metal plated powder of a compound QBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-x wherein Q is yttrium or europium, where x is smaller than one. The metal is advantageously silver and the plating process is one without the use of electricity. A preferred range of silver content is about 5 to 32 weight per cent, and the silver forms an essentially continuous phase in the superconductive material. Sintering can be done at from about 350.degree. and 950.degree. C., with a preferred range of 400.degree. to 900.degree. C. The superconductive material of the invention exhibits transition to zero-resisitivity state and the Meissner effect.
