A superconductive element containing Nb3Sn, in particular a multifilament wire, comprising at least one superconductive filament (8) which is obtained by a 
solid state 
diffusion reaction from a preliminary filament structure (1), said preliminary filament structure (1) containing an elongated hollow 
pipe (2) having an inner surface (3) and an outer surface (4), wherein said hollow 
pipe (2) consists of Nb or an Nb 
alloy, in particular NbTa, wherein the outer surface (4) is in 
close contact with a surrounding 
bronze matrix (5) containing Cu and Sn, and wherein the inner surface (3) is in 
close contact with an inner 
bronze matrix (5) also containing Cu and Sn, is characterized in that the inner 
bronze matrix (5) of the preliminary filament structure (1) encloses in its 
central region an elongated core (6) consisting of a metallic material, said metallic material having at 
room temperature (=RT) a 
thermal expansion coefficient αcore<17*10−6K−1, preferably αcore≦8*10−6 K−1, said metallic material having at RT a yield strength Rp0.2>300 MPa, said metallic material having at RT an elongation at rupture A>20%, and wherein the metallic material of the core (6) is chemically 
inert with respect to the material of the inner bronze matrix (5) up to a 
reaction temperature T of the 
solid state 
diffusion reaction. This element has improved superconductive properties in a large 
volume fraction of its superconductive filaments, in particular a 
high critical temperature Tc and a high critical magnetic filed strength Bc2, and is mechanically stable enough for commercial applications such as 
magnet coils.
