## Abstract We have presented a formation of ultrafine‐grained microstructure (d~α~ ≈ 0.2 µm) of industrial Ti–6Al–4V alloy produced by the hot compression of a sample with the acicular α′ martensite starting microstructure. The hot‐deformation behavior was different from the case of the convention

Abstract
The mechanical behavior of the Ti‐6Al‐4V ELI alloy in both conventional grain size (CG) and ultrafine‐grained (UFG) conditions under tension and compression at elevated temperatures (500–800 °C) is considered. Grain refinement by equal‐channel angular pressing (ECAP) followed by multicycle extrusion was observed to result in a considerable improvement of superplastic characteristics of Ti‐6Al‐4V ELI alloy. The alloy exhibits a superplastic deformation behavior already at 600 °C. The enhanced regime of superplasticity allows more efficient forming of parts and components. In addition, the UFG microstructure and, consequently, enhanced mechanical properties are kept after superplastic forming.
