Abstract

In this paper we present results of a first-principles phase stability study of fcc-based Ti-Al alloys. In particular, the full-potential linear muffin tin orbital method has been used to determine heats of formation and other zero-temperature properties of 9 fcc ordered superstructures as well as fcc and hcp Ti, and fcc Al. From these results a set of effective cluster interactions are determined which are used in a cluster variation method calculation of the thermodynamic properties and the composition-temperature phase diagram of fcc-based alloys.
