Cu1−xCox alloys with x=0.1 and x=0.2 have been prepared by conventional melt spinning. The rapid solidification process results in an extended solubility of Co in Cu although some Co precipitates already during quenching. In the as‐quenched ribbons, the magnetoresistance (MR) is only of the order of 1.5%. It increases dramatically with the controlled nucleation and growth of Co precipitates from the supersaturated Cu matrix. The highest MR of 11% at 300 K occurs for Cu90Co10 after an aging at about 440 °C when the Co clusters are superparamagnetic. Saturation is possible only after a higher annealing or at lower measuring temperatures. For the optimally annealed samples the MR increases to 36% at 30 K.
