The X superconducting wire is manufactured by composite processing of Nb and X or an alloy containing X. However, since the compound itself is fragile, it is weak against strain and can be freely processed as a wire rod such as NbTi. However, it was difficult to process it into a winding wire. Therefore, the heat treatment for producing the compound is often performed in a state where the superconducting coil or the like is processed into a desired shape. In this way, when trying to heat-treat after processing, the shape after processing has a very large volume,
Therefore, since it has a large heat capacity, it is impossible to practically perform heat treatment at high temperature for a short time.

Therefore, in the jelly roll method, realistic heat treatment is 8
It is carried out at 00 to 850 ° C. for 1 to 10 hours.
