Development of MgB
2 tapes prepared by a powder-in-tube method was reported. MgB
2 tapes and wires were fabricated with MgB
2 powder and several sheath materials such as Cu, Cu-Ni, carbon steel(Fe-C) and stainless steel. High-density MgB
2 cores were obtained for these sheath materials. Jc of the as-cold rolled(un-sintered) tape significantly increased with increasing the cross sectional area reduction by the cold working. Hard sheath materials (Fe-C and stainless steel) are effective to enhance Jc values. These results can be explained by the densification of MgB
2 core. Un-sintered MgB
2/(stainless steel) tapes showed extrapolated J
c values of ∼300-450kA/cm
2 at 4.2K and zero field. Sintering after the cold rolling is effective to enhance Jc values. An order of magnitude higher Jc values were obtained for Fe-C and stainless steel sheathed tapes after the sintering. 10m-long MgB
2 tapes were fabricated with Ni sheaths. Ic over 200A was obtained for 10m-long un-sintered MgB
2/Ni tape. We fabricated small coil with this tape without any sintering. The coil generated 1.3kGauss at 4.2K.
