Cold rolled Ni-5at%W substrates with short length were annealed at different temperatures. On the basis of the results of annealing of short length substrates, the substrates with long length were annealed by reel-to-reel method. The hardness of the annealed substrates at different temperatures was analyzed. The recrystallization textures were evaluated by X-ray pole figure and the microstructure were investigated by optical microscopy. The effects of annealing temperature on the recrystalization texture were discussed. The differences of recrystallization texture between short length substrates and long length substrates were investigated. It is found that both short length substrates and long length substrates have very strong cube texture
