Abstract: High-strength and high-conductivity copper alloys are typical non-ferrous metallic materials with excellent physical and mechanical properties. Featuring characteristics of ultra-high strength and high electrical & thermal conductivity, those alloys have been attracting a lot of attention lately, and have shown potential in a wide range of applications, such as ultra-high field pulsed magnets, transfer switches, electrical contractors, lead frames, and wires for trams and electric trains. Copper-niobium microcomposites, a new class of high-strength high-conductivity materials with attractive properties, are regarded as promising candidate conductor material for high-field pulsed magnets. The present review entails a retrospect of the development of pulsed magnetic field, and a summary of the research progress of highly conductive Cu-Nb composite wires from several aspects, including the preparation technology of the material, the evolutionary characteristics of the filaments structure, and thermal stability and strengthening and conducting mechanisms of the material. The paper ends with a prospective discussion about the challenging issues related to Cu-Nb composite wires aiming at achieving 110 T-and-higher pulsed magnetic field, and some suggestions for the future research.
