The present embodiments provide a gradient coil assembly. The gradient coil assembly includes an aluminum wire body, and a copper wire end connected by cold pressure welding to two ends of the aluminum wire body. Using the gradient coil according to a particular embodiment, it is possible to reduce gradient coil weight as well as reduce the thickness of an outer vacuum chamber used for a magnet, thereby reducing the cost of the magnet and gradient coil, and making it less difficult to install and maintain the magnet and gradient coil. There is no problem of oxidation associated with the cold pressure welding of the aluminum wire body to the copper wire ends, so quality defects arising from such oxidation are avoided.
