Abstract

The task of any alloy ordering theory simply put is to predict from a small amount of experimental data the ordering phase transitions, their temperature, composition and crystal structure in some selected alloy system. Ideally, the experimental information needed would be not more than the atomic numbers of the alloy components involved. This paper attempts to assess the progress that has been made towards that objective, the various techniques that have been used to provide solutions and the probable avenues of most rapid progress in the next ten years. The major areas that will be reviewed are Ising model approaches, many body interaction approaches, computer simulation techniques, and first principle calculations. It will be argued that we are on the verge of some quite exciting breakthroughs in the field of alloy phase prediction.
