The microsegregation to (111) anti-phase boundaries of the constituents and of the ternary atoms in monolithic γ′ phase is modeled using the tetrahedron approximation of the Cluster Variation Method. Similar to the binary case, alloy stoichiometry and temperature play an important role in determining the type and degree of atomic segregation to anti-phase boundaries. For a given composition, the segregation phenomenon is also found to be dependent on the site preference of the ternary additions. The results of our calculations are also used in order to assess the contribution of anti-phase boundary dislocation dragging to the strength of γ′ intermetallics.
