Abstract

The phase diagram for NiAl on an fcc lattice and the free energy of formation are calculated using the cluster variation method with first-principles energy interaction parameters. The shape of the Ni-rich part of the calculated phase diagram agrees fairly well with experimental observations, although the transition temperature is roughly 40% too high. The free energy of formation has a concentration dependence similar to that observed experimentally but has an energy scale roughly 40% higher.
