Abstract

In this paper we present results of a first-principles study of phase stability and structural and thermodynamic properties of fee- and hcp-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 fee and 7 hcp ordered superstructures as well as fee and hcp Ti and Al. From these results a set of effective cluster interactions are determined which are used in a cluster variation method calculation of the solid-state portion of the composition-temperature phase diagram for fee- and hcp-based alloys.
