The purpose of this study is to investigate the high temperature deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy and to predict the final microstructure under given forming conditions. Equiaxed and widmanstatten of Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared as initial microstructure and the compression tests were performed to obtain the flow curves at high temperatures (700∼1100$^{\circ}C$) and various strain rates (10$^<$TEX>-4/∼10$^2$/s). Form the results of compression test various parameters such as strain rate sensitivity (m) and activation energy (Q) were calculated and used to establish constitutive equations. To predict the final microstructure after forming, finite element analysis was performed considering the microstructural parameters such as the grain size and the volume fraction of second phase.
