Abstract
A superconducting ceramic wire is produced by melting a superconducting ceramic-forming metal oxide composition, and quenching the melt into a glass which is then formed into a preform of thin plate. The preform is soften and wire-drawn without causing crystallization in a furnace into a flexible elongated thin tape having a thickness of e.g. 40 to 60 .mu.m. The tape is heat-treated for crystallization to obtain the superconducting wire. The disclosure mentions mainly Bi Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconducting systems.
