Methods of macro- and microstructural, x-ray structural analyses and mechanical tensile tests of the structure and properties of Ti–3Al–2.5V alloy hot-extruded intended for subsequent cold rolling are studied. Hot-extruded pipe is produced according to the scheme: expansion in a vertical press → extrusion in a horizontal press. It is shown that during sleeve expansion structure and phase structure do not change markedly compared with the initial hot-rolled semi-finished product in two-phase (α+β)-region. Hot extrusion in the recommended temperature range provides formation of a sufficiently homogeneous, well worked macro- and microstructure with a tangential basic texture of α-phase. A set of mechanical properties for hot-extruded pipe of alloy Ti–3Al–2.5V required for performing subsequent cold rolling used in the final stages of pipe preparation by TREX technology is provided.
