The characteristic crystal model is applied to the study of phase stability and thermodynamics in substitutional bcc-based Ta-W alloys. The basic principle and method of alloy thermodynamics which is described by the characteristic crystal model is introduced in detail. The Gibbs energy of various phases including both disordered and ordered phases of the Ta-W system are evaluated. The phase diagram of Ta-W alloys is assessed and predicted. The results are in good agreement with experiments and better than that of first principle.

The valence bond structure of substitutional BCC based Ta-W alloys is studied using characteristic crystal (CC) theory. This theory is based on cluster statistics of random alloys. By studying the correlativity between energy and volume of the CC in Ta-W alloys, the valence bond structure of CC is determined by the energy and shape method. Then, following additive law of CC, the valence bond structure of Ta-W alloys is calculated. It is found that the outer shell valence electronic distribution of Ta-W alloys shows a continuous change in the whole composition range. The covalent electrons ec(dc, sc, and pc) increase, whereas near free electrons ef decrease with increasing W concentration. The bond length and single-bond radius decrease, whereas bond energy and bond valence increase with increasing W concentration. The mechanism of solid solution strengthening of Ta-W alloys is analyzed based on their valence bond structure.
