A method for manufacturing a superconducting compound wire which comprises assembling a plurality of strands in which a compound phase is to be formed by a heat treatment, in such a manner that at least some of the strands have an inclination to the lengthwise direction of the superconducting wire, heating the assembled strands at a temperature sufficient to form the compound in the presence of a substance laid between the strands which prevents mutual diffusion among adjacent strands during the heat treatment, and cooling the strands.
