Abstract

Self-diffusion of component atoms and ‘order–order’ relaxations in a B2-ordering binary system AB showing a tendency for triple-defect formation were consistently simulated by means of two Monte Carlo techniques. In view of a strict correlation between antisite-defect and vacancy concentrations the Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations were implemented with a temperature-dependent vacancy concentration determined by means of Semi-Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (SGCMC) simulations. The Ising model of the system was completed with local-configuration-dependent saddle-point energy parameters related to vacancy mediated atomic jumps. The simulations elucidated the atomistic origin of the experimentally observed low rate of ‘order–order’ relaxations in NiAl, as well as reproduced the experimental relation between the activation energies for ‘order–order’ kinetics and Ni self-diffusion in NiAl. Higher value of the deduced activation energy for atomic migration with respect to the effective energy barriers related to individual atomic jumps indicated their high correlation.
