A Ni-5at%W ingot was prepared by medium frequency induction melting. The ingot was forged, hot-rolled and cold-rolled into trips with 60 μm thickness and 50 m length. Recrystallization annealing for the substrate trip was carried out at different temperatures (800~1200 °C) for different time. Taking account of high cube texture and shallow boundary, the recrystallization annealing of 1100 °C/0.5 h is regarded as the best. According to X-ray diffraction and EBSD analyses, the cube grain content of the tape annealed at 1100 °C for 0.5 h reaches as high as 98.9% (tolerance angle of less than 10°), and grain size is uniform. The FWHM values of the in-plane and the content of crystal twin are slightly different from that of the commercial Ni5W tape supplied by Germany Dresden
