Texture　and　microstructure　evolution　during　recrystallization　of　a　heavily　cold-rolled　Ni9W　alloy　were　investigated　using　x-ray　diffraction　and　electron　back-scattered　diffraction.　Brass,　S　and　random　orientations　dominated　the　recrystallization　process　because　the　fractions　of　cube,　Copper,　and　Goss　orientations　were　low.　Nearly　all　of　the　Brass　and　a　part　of　the　S　orientation　were　consumed　during　recrystallization.　Some　of　the　S　orientation　was　recrystallized　grains,　which　grew　during　annealing　and　remained　after　the　primary　recrystallization.　A　large　number　of　grains　with　other　random　orientations　were　formed　as　they　had　a　significant　size　and　fraction　advantage　during　recrystallization.　The　evolution　of　microstructure　and　texture　during　recrystallization　demonstrated　that　the　cube　grains　did　not　have　a　size　advantage　compared　with　the　noncube　grains,　which　lead　to　the　formation　of　a　rough　recrystallization　cube　texture　in　the　Ni9W　alloy　after　annealing.
