Abstract
The invention offers a superconducting tape that maintains both high allowable tension and low splice resistance and a method of producing the superconducting tape. The superconducting tape is provided with a main-body portion and a reinforcement portion. The main-body portion has the shape of a tape and has a superconductor. The reinforcement portion is composed of precipitation-hardened-type copper alloy or alloy of tin and copper and is formed on at least one surface side of the main-body portion.
Claims6
