The hot deformation behavior of powder metallurgy Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr (Ti-5553) alloy was investigated by isothermal compression test at the wide temperature range of [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]C, under an intermediate strain rate of 0.1 s[Formula: see text], and with the sample deformation degree of 30%, 50% and 70%. Results suggested that the flow stress was very sensitive to the deformation variables and it decreased with increasing the deformation temperature. Flow localization occurred when the temperature was lower than [Formula: see text]C, accompanied by the dynamic morphology changing of [Formula: see text] phase. Dynamic recovery (DRV) features appeared when the temperature was over [Formula: see text]C, while dynamic recrystallization (DRX) took a more important role than DRV for the alloy compressed at [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]C.
