However, in this wire forming method, oxygen in the superconducting ceramic is not sufficiently supplied, resulting in a decrease in critical current density and/or critical temperature. Moreover, the contact area between the superconducting ceramic powders during rolling decreases, and superconductivity is not exhibited. That is, in the conventional method of forming a superconducting material into a wire, the oxygen content of the superconducting material becomes unstable and cannot be controlled, and the original superconducting properties cannot be obtained in many cases.
