Provided is a titanium cast product for hot rolling made of commercial pure titanium or a titanium alloy, the titanium cast product including, in a surface serving as a rolling surface, a fine structure layer that is formed of an acicular structure formed in the outermost surface by melting and re-solidification treatment and that has a thickness of more than or equal to 5 mm and less than 9 mm in depth. In the titanium cast product for hot rolling according to the present invention, the surface is flat, the number of minute voids in the interior immediately below the surface is small, and the outermost surface has a significantly fine structure. When the titanium cast product is subjected to hot rolling, the occurrence of concavities on the surface in the early stage of hot rolling and the occurrence of surface defects on the hot rolled sheet can be stably prevented at a practical level.

The present invention provides a titanium material for hot rolling that enables reduction of defects occurring on the surface (in the case of a flat material or strip coil, including not only the flat surfaces but also the side surfaces and edges) owing to the hot rolling, and a method of producing the same, particularly to a titanium material for hot rolling enabling omission of an ingot breakdown process, and a method of producing the same, characterized in that it is a titanium material for hot rolling having dimples imparted by cold plastic deformation whose mean value of the heights (Wc) of the undulation profile elements is 0.2 to 1.5 mm and mean value of the lengths (WSm) thereof is 3 to 15 mm, and makes it possible to minimize surface defects occurring in hot rolling even if a process for breaking down the ingot is omitted. The dimples are formed by plastically deforming the surface of the titanium under cold condition using a steel tool having a tip shape of a radius of curvature of 3 to 30 mm or a steel sphere of a radius of 3 to 30 mm.
