3. A method of producing an elongate
superconductive body, characterized in that the method
comprises
(a) forming an intermediate body comprising a
normal metal, orifice-free cladding surrounding a quantity of
oxide powder and in contact therewith;
(b) forming an elongate body from the intermediate
body by means of one or more cross-section-reducing
operations; and
(c) heat treating the elongate body such that
substantial sintering of the oxide powder occurs, with the
oxide powder being in contact with an oxygen containing
atmosphere during at least part of step (c) such that the thus
produced body manifests superconductivity, with T of 30 K or
c
above, T
c
being either T (R=0) or T (onset), wherein at least the portionc c
of the cladding that is in contact with the oxide powder
consists essentially of normal metal that is substantially
inert with respect to oxygen and with respect to the oxide
powder under the treating conditions.
