The pseudopotential method and thermodynamic perturbation theoryare applied to investigate the thermodynamics of Ni-AI alloys. The Einstein model approximation in the solid phase and the PercusYevick hard-sphere approximation in the liquid phase are chosen as reference systems. I n all the calculations the local Animalu pseudopotential and the non-local pseudopotential with resonant contribution in the case of a transition metal are used. Thestaticconcentration-wave method isapplied toinvestigate the ordering process in the solid phase. Taking charge transfer into consideration within the framework of the non-local resonant porential model, we have described the featuresofthe mainexcess mixing characteristics and the dynamic viscosity in the liquid system studied. I t is shown that in Ni5,,Alw alloy the Kauzmann reduced temperature is higher than in pure Ni but insufficient for ready glass formation.
