Titanium alloys are usually subjected to hot deformation to optimize its microstructure and mechanical property. In the hot forming process, such as extrusion, texture is of great importance to both manufacturing and performance. In this study, an alpha-beta titanium was used to study the texture evolution during hot extrusion. Large area electronic backscattering scan was used to examine grain orientation distribution. Experimentally measured alpha and beta textures were compared with a rate-dependent crystal plasticity based simulation. The model is capable of predicting the deformation textures of both alpha and beta phases at extrusion temperature. The model also takes into account the transformation of metastable beta phase to alpha phase in the cooling process, considering variant selection. The transformation texture components mostly have [0001] along extrusion direction, forming the primary component of alpha extruded texture. The model works well in predicting hot deformation texture of titanium alloy.
