Ordering of binary interstitial solid solutions

Abstract

Ordering of binary interstitial solid solutions in a crystal with a BCC lattice is investigated. Two cases are considered: 1) interstitial atoms occupy interstices of only one type, 2) interstitial atoms occupy interstices of two types. It is demonstrated that in the second case, the order-disorder phase transformation is absent, and the solution remains ordered at all temperatures. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
