Abstract
A superconducting wire (), containing NbTi superconducting material and Cu, comprising a multiplicity of hexagonal elements, which, as seen in cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the superconducting wire (), have an at least approximately hexagonal outside contour is characterized in that at least a portion of the hexagonal elements is constituted as Cu—Al composite elements (), wherein, in cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the superconducting wire (), the Cu—Al composite elements () are each constituted with an Al core () and a Cu sheath () that surrounds the Al core (). The NbTi superconducting wire is thereby stabilized and has low weight as well as a reduced risk of crack formation during manufacturing, especially during wire drawing.
