Anti-structured defects bridge atom migration among heterogeneous sublattices facilitating diffusion but could also result in the collapse of ordered structure.Component distribution Ni（75）AlxV（25-x） alloys are investigated using a microscopic phase field model to illuminate relations between anti-structured defects and composition,precipitate order,precipitate type,and phase stability.The Ni（75）AlxV（25-x） alloys undergo single Ni3V（stage Ⅰ）,dual Ni3Al and Ni3V（stage Ⅱ with Ni3V prior;and stage Ⅲ with Ni3Al prior）,and single Ni3Al（stage Ⅳ） with enhanced aluminum level.For Ni3V phase,anti-structured defects（V（Ni1）,Niy,except V（Ni2）） and substitution defects（Al（Ni1）,Al（Ni2）,Alv） exhibit a positive correlation to aluminum in stage I,the positive trend becomes to negative correlation or smooth during stage Ⅱ.For Ni3 Al phase,anti-structured defects（Al（Ni）,Ni（Al）） and substitution defects（V（Ni）,V（Al）） have a positive correlation to aluminum in stage Ⅱ,but Ni（Al） goes down since stage Ⅲ and lasts to stage Ⅳ.V（Ni） and V（Al） fluctuate when Ni3Al precipitates prior,but go down drastically in stageⅣ.Precipitate type conversion of single Ni3V/dual（Ni3V＋Ni3Al） affects Ni3V defects,while dual（Ni3V＋Ni3Al）/single Ni3 Al has little effect on Ni3Al defects.Precipitate order swap occurred in the dual phase region affects on Ni3Al defects but not on Ni3V.
