A superconducting magnet containing at least one coil made of an alloy having superconductivity at a temperature below its critical temperature is described. The alloy consists essentially of about 20 to 63 at. percent niobium, about 1 to 79 at. percent zirconium and about 1 to 79 percent titanium. The superconducting alloys find application in superconducting magnets for magnetic hydrodynamic generators and in coils for magnets which provide the driving force in submarines.
