Provided is a superconducting wire rod that is reduced in cost due to a thinner/simpler middle layer, without the properties of the superconducting wire rod (for example critical current properties) being negatively affected. A provided tape-shaped base material for superconducting wire rods comprises a diffusion preventing layer, which comprises an oxide of a group 4 (4A) element, formed on a substrate that contains iron, nickel, or chromium. Specifically, the diffusion preventing layer comprises TiO2, ZrO2, or HfO2. |
