In　this　study,　the　texture　evolution　of　CuNi　alloy　fabricated　by　rolling　and　annealing　processes　with　different　von　Mises　strains　was　systematically　investigated　by　electron　backscatter　diffraction　(EBSD).　All　the　samples　with　different　strains　exhibited　a　strong　cube　texture　after　annealing　at　high　temperatures,　but　the　texture　evolution　trace　was　apparently　affected　by　the　strains.　The　most　significant　effect　of　the　strain　was　the　recrystallization　nucleation　of　the　cube　texture.　The　distinct　nucleation　causes　a　different　growth　rate　of　the　cube　texture　and　the　random　texture,　which　causes　a　large　temperature　difference　of　550-700　degrees　C　between　the　samples　with　different　strains.　This　investigation　allows　us　to　better　understand　the　texture　evolution　in　CuNi　and　other　FCC　alloys　after　the　rolling　and　annealing　processes.　(c)　2021　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
