Highly conductive materials with high strength have been required for the development of high field magnets such as pulsed magnet. Compared with Cu-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, Cu-Be, Cu-Cr and Cu-Nb alloys, Cu-Ag alloys are very useful because of easiness in melting and casting. In addition, the alloys exhibit high strength, high conductivity and uniform characteristics by the proper combination of cold-working and heat-treatment. The authors manufactured the Cu-Ag alloys conductor (4 x 6mm in cross section). The conductor has a tensile strength of 1,000MPA and an electrical conductivity of 80%IACS at room temperature, and this conductor is suitable for high field pulsed magnet. It is also easy to handle the conductor in making coil with diameter of about {phi}20mm.
