Therefore, Pb has a low probability of becoming a constituent atom of the lloK class superconductor, and is considered to play the role of a flux for causing 110 to form an originating conductor. The presence of PB has the advantage of making it easier to create a semi-molten state for the formation of lloK class superconductors, but it remains in the grain boundary phase after firing and weakens the bonds between the formed superconductor particles. It also has the disadvantage of Therefore, the obtained fired body has a problem in that the critical current density, which is one of the superconducting properties, is low. In order to improve this critical current density, it is necessary to sinter the particles of the fringe conductor to the 110 obtained by firing. The secondary heat treatment of the present invention bonds particles of the superconductor through this sintering.
