Initial microstructures were produced by thermal and thermomechanical treatments and comprised different morphologies of α phase (martensitic, lamellar, bimodal and globular), as well as the presence or absence of the β phase. Results show that one or more of the following phenomena can take place during aging and contribute to the hardening of the alloy: β decomposition into fine secondary α laths; transformation of the metastable martensitic α′ into the equilibrium α phase; and precipitation of the intermetallic Ti3Al. The composition and distribution of the β phase was shown to affect the precipitation of secondary α during aging, while the composition of the α phase plays a key role on the formation of Ti3Al. In situ X-ray diffraction studies of the early stages of aging show the kinetics of the α′ → α conversion by the reduction in FWHM of XRD reflections, indicate the contribution to hardening by the increase of the c/a ratio and the consequent limitation of active slip systems and depict the chemical homogenization and decomposition of the β phase.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matchar.2020.110400} (DOI).
