Commercially pure (CP) titanium samples were subjected to uniaxial tension of 5, 15, 25, 35 and 45 elongation (%) at room temperature (298 K), 673 K and 873 K respectively. The texture and microstructure evolution as a function of temperature and elongation (%) were evaluated in the present study. The following observations were made: (i) twins of both {10 1¯ 2} type tensile twins and {11 2¯ 2} type compressive twins were significant during deformation at 298 K while at high temperatures, these twins were observed till 15 elongation (%) only; (ii) both the twins were mostly activated in the grains/orientations of high Schmid factor values, although these twins were also activated in some grains with low Schmid factor values; (iii) both grain refinement and misorientation developments as a function of elongation (%) was higher for the samples deformed at 298 K compared to those at 673 K and 873 K; (iv) The initial texture concentrated along (11 2¯ 5)<1 1¯ 00> was observed to be strengthened with progressive deformation irrespective of the temperature of deformation. However, the texture intensity was higher during deformation at high temperatures. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
