Abstract

Multifilament superconductors of brittle, prereacted Nb.sub.3 Sn filaments in a bronze matrix wherein the electrical power under superconductive conditions is stabilized. The superconductor comprises a core of Nb.sub.3 Sn multifilaments and a bridge containing a band of purest aluminum which is soldered in parallel to the superconductor core.
