Abstract
A superconducting conductor, having an excellent repeated temperature property with no reduction of critical current density against a temperature cycle, comprises an oxide superconductor and an fiber reinforced plastic ("FRP"), serving as a support member, which is composed with the oxide superconductor for integrally moving with the oxide superconductor in thermal expansion and thermal shrinkage. The oxide superconductor is bonded to the FRP with an adhesive agent, or wound on and fixed to the same with a Teflon tape or the like.
Claims16
