The effect of Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) deformation on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and aging behavior of solution treated Ti–1300 alloy was investigated. The results show that the grains are not broken during ECAP deformation due to coordination of grain rotation. The dominant deformation mechanism involved dislocation slip and twinning. The ECAP deformation has a significant effect on the subsequent aging behavior. The microstructure of aged samples comprised αs phase in β matrix. The precipitation of αs phase in the pre-deformed sample is higher than that in the solution treated sample, which is reflected in the improvement of microhardness of the pre-deformed + aging sample. The microhardness of the alloy after ECAP deformation increases with decreasing aging temperature and increasing aging time.
