Abstract
A superconducting member is manufactured by mechanical fabrication to final dimensions of a matrix comprising a base material, such as niobium, an alloy essentially consisting of a carrier material and at least one element, such as tin, a metal for stabilization and a barrier material protecting the metal for stabilization. After mechanical fabrication a superconducting compound of the base material and the element is formed by heat treatment to cause a solid state reaction. The barrier material prevents diffusion of any of the components into the metal for stabilization.
