To fabricate the aluminum alloys with good drawability, the textures evolution of the AA5182 sheets due to the change of l/d parameter after rolling and subsequent annealing was studied. The measurement of the deformation textures was carried out for the sheets with high reduction ratio and the change of the recrystallization texture was investigated after heat-treatments of the rolled sheets in various l/d parameters. Rolling without lubrication and subsequent annealing led to the formation of favorable rot-CND {001}〈110〉 and γ-fiber ND//〈111〉 textures in AA5182 sheets. From the results, the γ-fiber ND//〈111〉 component well evolved during rolling at high l/d parameter of 6.77. The initial shear deformation texture, especially, γ-fiber ND//〈111〉 was not rotated during heat treatment in holding time of 180~7,200 seconds on AA5182 with l/d parameter of 6.77. Therefore, the AA5182 sheets were fabricated by controlling l/d parameter having well evolved γ-fiber ND//〈111〉 which was advantageous in good drawability of the sheets.
