First-principles thermodynamic models based on the cluster expansion formalism, monte-carlo simulations and quantum-mechanical total energy calculations are employed to compute short-range-order parameters and diffuse-antiphase-boundary energies in hcp-based $\alpha$-Ti-Al alloys. Our calculations unambiguously reveal a substantial amount of SRO is present in $\alpha$-Ti-6 Al and that, at typical processing temperatures concentrations, the DAPB energies associated with a single dislocation slip can reach 25 mJ/m$^{2}$. We find very little anisotropy between the energies of DAPBs lying in the basal and prism planes. Perfect antiphase boundaries in DO$_{19}$ ordered Ti$_3$Al are also investigated and their interfacial energies, interfacial stresses and local displacements are calculated from first principles through direct supercell calculations. Our results are discussed in light of mechanical property measurements and deformation microstructure strudies in $\alpha$ Ti-Al alloys.
