Method for manufacturing precursor, method for manufacturing superconducting wire, precursor, and superconducting wire
View Patent ↗A method for manufacturing a superconducting wire includes the following steps. A laminate metal having a first metal layer and a Ni layer formed on the first metal layer is prepared. An intermediate layer ( 20 ) is formed on the Ni layer of the laminate metal. A superconducting layer ( 30 ) is formed on the intermediate layer ( 20 ). By subjecting the laminate metal to a heat treatment after at least either of the step of forming a intermediate layer ( 20 ) and the step of forming a superconducting layer ( 30 ), a nonmagnetic Ni alloy layer ( 12 ) is formed from the laminate metal.
