Abstract A supersaturated single phase ordered α_2 structure in as rapidly quenched al-loys both Ti-42at.-%Al and Ti-45at.-%Al, after solid solution treatment, was revealed un-der observation with optical and transmission electron microscope as well as X-raydiffraction analysis. The supersaturated single phase may transform into a lamellar structureof γ+α_2 with a discontinuous decomposition mechanism in Ti-42at.-% Al alloy and with asemicontinuous decomposition mechanism in Ti-45at.-%Al alloy when it aged isothermallyin the two-phase range between 1000 and 1100℃. The semicontinuous transformation in-volves two process: precipitation of primary lamellar γ phase and subsequent formation ofcellular microstructure, in result, the initial even grain boundaries of α_2 become sawtooth.
