The phase transformations of Ti-5Al-2SN-4Zr-4Mo-2Cr-1Fe ({beta}-CEZ) have been studied during continuous cooling after {beta}-solution treatment. For this purpose, electrical resistivity measurements and metallographical examinations have been carried out, and the continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagram of {beta}-CEZ alloy has been plotted. The different kinds of {beta}-phase decomposition schemes in {beta}-CEZ alloy during continuous cooling have been investigated in detail. Two main morphological features of the {alpha}/{beta} structure are involved, depending on the cooling rate: the basket-weave and the colony structures are observed for high and low cooling rates, respectively. For the intermediate cooling rates, the two morphologies coexist. Finally, a generalized scheme of the {beta} {yields} {beta} + {alpha} transformation sequences during continuous cooling is presented.
