Ni7W/Ni12W/Ni7W　composite　substrates　for　YBa2Cu3O7-delta　coated　conductors　were　prepared　by　rolling　assisted　biaxially　textured　substrates　route.　A　threefold　intermediate　annealing　at　different　temperatures　was　introduced　in　the　rolling　process　of　Ni7W/Ni12W/Ni7W　composite　substrates　to　optimize　the　deformation　texture.　The　recovery　microstructure　and　the　deformation　texture　of　latitude　and　longitude　section　were　studied　with　X-ray　diffraction　and　electron　backscattered　diffraction　to　reveal　the　possible　mechanism　of　temperature　effects　on　rolling　and　strong　cube　texture　formation　processes.　The　results　show　that　the　highest　cube　area　fraction　is　found　in　sample　intermediately　annealed　at　600　degrees　C/60　min;　in　this　way　Ni7W/Ni12WNi7W　composite　substrates　with　high　cube　texture　content　of　95%　(＜10　degrees)　are　obtained　at　a　low　recrystallization　annealing　temperature.　Crystal　orientation　maps　reveal　that　a　higher　amount　of　cube　orientation　exists　in　its　recovery　and　initial　recrystallization　samples.　Point　to　point　misorientation　files　confirm　the　high　grain　boundary　angle　of　these　cube　grains,　which　strongly　boost　the　cube　texture　formation　during　subsequent　recrystallization.
