Texture evolution has been studied in both parent β and transformed α phases during the hot compression of Ti60 alloy in both the α + β (1005 °C and 1035 °C) and β phase (1065 °C) fields, followed by air cooling using detailed electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) mapping. The reason for the development of the transformed α textures is discussed in the paper. The formation of the α texture was associated with the texture of parent β and variant selection during β → α transformation. The effect of variant selection on the texture evolution was assessed by comparing the measured α textures with the predicted ones based on the β texture with the assumption that no variant selection had occurred. The mechanism of variant selection effected by the slip system of the β phase and the high-temperature texture of β/αp are also discussed.
