The order-disorder transformation in the body-centered cubic structure was investigated by a Monte Carlo method. A critical temperature was observed at the point (v/kT)=-0.315. The results of the calculation are in close agreement with the best analytical approximations. The calculated variation of order with temperature is in good agreement with experimental data on β brass and β-AgZn. Some information on the kinetics of the transformation was obtained. It appears likely that the rate-limiting process for diffusion in the ordered structure is jumping of vacancies to second neighbor positions.
