The relative role of thermal expansion and redistribution of alloy components in the temperature dependence of the lattice misfit in γ/γ' alloys is investigated on the basis of ab initio calculations. We show that in a wide temperature region up to approximately 0.6·Tmelt, the lattice misfit is determined by the difference in thermal expansion of γ and γ' phases and shows only a slight variation. For higher temperatures the redistribution of the major alloy components between the phases becomes a leading contribution to the lattice misfit.
