Abstract
A superconducting conductor comprises a first fraction of prior-tinned strands (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. . . . ) and an additional fraction of non-prior-tinned strands (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc., . . . ). The strands of the first fraction and of the additional fraction alternate regularly and are maintained in a coherent assembly after being assembled with transposition by heating to melt the layer of tin on the prior-tinned strands, with the tin from said layer then solidifying, thus providing substantially point adherence between the previously tinned strands while leaving channels (11, 12, etc. . . . ) inside the superconducitng conductor for cooling liquid circulation. The invention is also to a method of manufacturing such a superconducting conductor.
