Texture formation was studied in an intermetallic Ti‐45at%Al‐5at%Nb alloy after uniaxial compression and near conventional forging. Depending on the deformation conditions the texture of the γ ‐TiAl phase is formed by pure deformation components, components related to dynamic recrystallization, or transformation components. This changing corresponds with microstructural observations. The α 2 ‐Ti 3 Al and the α ‐Ti(Al) phase show a similar texture as it is known for Ti and Ti‐base alloys after compressive deformation at elevated temperatures. In contrast to the γ texture, no significant change of the α / α 2 texture was observed in the temperature range between 800 °C and just below the α ‐transus temperature (T α = 1295 °C).
