The texture evolution of cold rolled tough pitch copper foils could be changed by altering the initial texture and microstructure before cold rolling. The development of β-fiber texture was substantially suppressed even after 92% reduction for the case of abnormally coarse initial grain structure and extremely strong initial cube texture. Instead, the intensity of cube and RD (rolling direction)-rotated cube texture components was increased continuously by increasing the intensity of the initial cube texture.
