Abstract: The relationships among the deformation, texture and properties of TA16 alloy tube were investigated, an optimum processing parameter was obtained. High Q (the ratio of reduction of diameter to reduction of wall thickness) values increase tensile, flaring properties and reduce flattening, high Q values increase tensile strength, flattening, flaring, and decrease tensile elongation. The main circular textures of rolling tubes are basal (0001) and pyramidal {10(1) over bar 5}, {10(1) over bar 4}, {10(1) over bar 3)}etc., and the main axial textures are prism {10(1) over bar 0} and pyramidal {11(2) over bar 0}, {21(3) over bar 1}, {20(2) over bar 1} etc, under different Q and epsilon values. There are greater changes in the grain size under different epsilon values, compared with that under different Q values.
