Abstract
A superconducting coil bas a winding wire portion which is formed by winding a superconducting wire covered with an insulating material around a winding frame composed of such a material that its modulus of longitudinal elasticity is 50 (GPa) or greater, and its thermal contraction rate between a room temperature and a temperature of 77 (K) is 0.35% or above while applying a tensile force thereto, and a bonding material impregnated between the superconducting wires and is then solidified by a heat treatment to reduce a contact surface pressure between the winding wire portion and the winding frame, preventing transition to a normal conductive state. A method for manufacturing superconducting coil having a step of forming a winding wire portion by winding a winding frame with insulation superconducting wires in a plurality of lines and in a plurality of layers while applying a tensile force thereto, the method includes a step of setting a winding tensile force of the insulation superconducting wires larger in intermediate through external layers apart from the winding frame than in an internal layer close to the winding frame or a step of forming a non-acute angled cavity between the curved surfaces to restrain the occurrences of a crack and the exfoliation of the winding wire portion and generation of quench due to the electromagnetic force when exciting the coil.
