Abstract Titanium alloys are extensively used in a variety of applications due to their good mechanical properties, high biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. In the last decade, α-type Ti alloys containing Zr, Nb and Ta have received much attention, because they exhibit not only high strength but also bio-corrosion resistance and high biocompatibility. A α-type Ti–10Zr–5Nb–5Ta alloy was processed by Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) – Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) procedure and investigated with the aim to observe the texture development during ARB processing. Texture data for the (0 0 0 2), ( 1 0 1 ¯ 0 ), ( 1 0 1 ¯ 1 ) and ( 1 0 1 ¯ 2 ) Pole figures (PFs) were obtained by X-ray experiments and Inverse Pole Figures (IPFs) and Orientation Distribution Functions (ODFs) were determined. The results showed presence of { 0 2 2 ¯ 3 } 〈 1 0 1 ¯ 0 〉 and { 0 1 1 ¯ 1 } 〈 1 0 1 ¯ 0 〉 texture components, {0 0 0 1} basal fibre and { 0 1 1 ¯ 0 }, { 1 1 2 ¯ 0 }, { 1 1 2 ¯ 3 }, { 1 1 2 ¯ 6 } fibres.
