In the case of forming the in-situ wire 7, the Sn in the coating layer in the plated in-situ wire 8 has already disappeared and diffused into the in-situ wire 7 by the low-temperature heat treatment, and the in-situ wire 7 has been strengthened. Even when a small in-situ wire 7 is used, there is no breakage during plastic working.

Next, the secondary stranded conductor 13 is subjected to a diffusion heat treatment of heating to 500 to 700 ° C. for several tens to several hundreds hours, and the Sn and the Nb filament diffused into the inside of the in-situ wire 7 react with each other, and Nb 3 Sn
By generating a filament of the superconducting intermetallic compound, a superconducting stranded wire having a secondary stranded structure shown in FIG. 7 can be obtained.
At the time of the diffusion heat treatment, Sn or Ni contained in the alloy layer 4 attempts to diffuse into the inside of the stabilized conductor 1, but the diffusion prevention layer 3 prevents the diffusion into the inside. In addition, the pure copper core conductor 2 is not contaminated with unnecessary elements such as Sn. If the core conductor 2 is contaminated with an element such as Sn, the electric resistance of the core conductor 2 at an extremely low temperature is increased, and the performance of the core conductor 2 as a stabilized conductor is undesirably reduced.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the method of the present invention closes the voids existing in the stranded wire conductor portion by plasticizing the stranded wire portion provided by twisting the outside of the stabilized conductor. The rigidity of the stranded wire portion can be improved, and the unevenness existing on the outer peripheral portion of the stranded wire conductor can be smoothed, so that the workability can be improved. Further, since the composite wire is subjected to the stranded wire processing before the diffusion heat treatment, the stranded wire processing can be easily performed without causing trouble such as disconnection.
