Ni-5　at.%　W　(Ni5W)　tapes　with　a　strong　cube　texture　were　fabricated　using　the　RABiTS　technique　and　by　starting　from　cylindrical　shaped　ingots.　In　contrast　to　a　conventional　cuboid-shaped　ingot,　a　cylinder　shaped　ingot　has　no　anisotropy　along　the　axial　direction　and　the　resulting　tape　will　therefore,　during　heavy　cold　rolling,　be　characterized　by　a　lower　concentration　of　stress　along　the　edges　of　the　ingot.　It　can　reduce　fabrication　costs　and　increase　process　efficiency.　The　fraction　of　cube　texture　on　the　surface　of　the　finally　recrystallized　tapes　was　investigated　using　the　EBSD　technique.　It　was　observed　that　the　fraction　of　cube　texture　within　10　degrees　from　the　ideal　{001}　＜　100　＞　orientation　was　similar　to　98%　and　the　fraction　of　LAGBs　was　similar　to　90%.　The　as-obtained　tapes　have　a　strong　cube　texture　also　very　close　to　the　edge　of　the　tape　and　they　would　therefore　increase　the　fraction　of　applicable　material　while　simplifying　the　heavy　rolling　process.　Accordingly,　it　suggests　that　this　fabrication　method　is　a　good　choice　to　most　small　scale　research　laboratories　for　achieving　long　length　Ni5W　tapes　for　coated　conductors　with　an　easy　way　and　a　higher　fraction　of　applicable　material.
