Embodiment 1

[0030] Ta powder and Sn powder having a size of 350 mesh (grain size of 40 μm or less) were mixed so as to satisfy an atomic ratio of Ta:Sn=6:5, and 2% by mass of Cu powder was added, followed by further mixing. The resulting mixture was placed in an aluminum pot, and heat-treated at 950° C. for 10 hours under a vacuum of 0.01 Pa. The heat-treated mixture was pulverized, placed again in an aluminum pot, heat-treated at 950° C. for 10 hours under a vacuum of 0.01 Pa, and then formed into Ta-Sn-Cu alloy powder having a particle size of 100 μm or less by crushing.

[0031] The obtained alloy powder was charged into a tube having an outer diameter of 17 mm and an inner diameter of 11 mm made of a Ta alloy of 7.5% by mass Nb having different contents of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon gas components or different crystal size. For all the samples, the hydrogen concentration was also measured, and the result was 5 ppm or less, which has no influence on the result. Those with a small av...

Embodiment 2

[0044] In each tube having an outer diameter of 55 mm and an inner diameter of 30 mm made of a Ta alloy of 7.5% by mass Nb, wherein the alloy has different concentrations of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon gas components and a different average grain size, A Cu tube with an outer diameter of 30 mm and an inner diameter of 26 mm was inserted, and a Sn rod with an outer diameter of 26 mm was further inserted. The Nb—Ta alloy tube was covered with a Cu tube having an outer diameter of 67 mm to form an extruded billet, which was extruded at room temperature to obtain an outer diameter of 28 mm. Subsequently, the outer diameter was reduced to 0.3 mm by wire drawing using a die.

[0045] Each filament was heat-treated at 700°C for 80 hours under vacuum. For the obtained wire, wire drawing results and critical current (Ic) in high magnetic field (external magnetic field: 21T), liquid helium (temperature: 4.2K) were measured. The Ic value was divided by the area of ​​the non-copper port...
