Abstract

A method of making a superconducting coil from a superconducting wire includes the step of winding the wire to form a coil. Prior to the winding step, the wire is submitted to repeated tension-stressing of a predetermined stretch and a predetermined number of cycles, in order to reduce the "training" of the superconducting coil.
