Isothermal compression tests of Ti-5553 (Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr) alloy, produced by a fast consolidation approach from blended elemental powder mixture, were performed on a Gleeble® 3800 thermal-physical simulator to investigate its hot deformation behaviour. The samples were compressed in a wide temperature range from 700 ºC to 1150 ºC and a moderate-high strain rate of 1 s-1, with the sample deformation degree of 30%, 50% and 70%, respectively. Flow instability occurred when the deformation temperature was less than 900 ºC. Dynamic recovery (DRV) accompanied by dynamic recrystallization (DRX) become the dominated mechanisms at the medium temperature range between 900 ºC and 1000 ºC, while almost only DRV features could be observed at high temperature (1050 ºC ~ 1150 ºC). Moreover, α phase globalization could be identified in the alloy deformed in (α+β) region. DRV, DRX, α globalization and the transformation of α to β phase were promoted with the increasing deformation degree.
