Popis: An approach, which includes the application of physical-empirical models for describing the contributions to the Gibbs energy of mixing of solid solutions for binary systems, is formulated. The chemical contribution at zero temperature is represented as the difference between the chemical energy of mixing obtained by ab inito calculations and the elastic contribution of the energy of lattice distortions that is caused by the size factor, which takes into account the matrix atom displacements in the first-third coordination spheres with respect to impurity atoms. The vibrational contribution to the Gibbs energy of a solid solution is considered using the Debye model with allowance for anharmonicity in the Mie–Gruneisen approximation, the magnetic contribution to the Gibbs energy is considered using the Inden–Hillert–Jarl formalism, and the contribution of thermally excited electrons is considered using electronic specific heat. The experimental data on the Debye temperature, the Curie temperature, the average magnetic moment, Young’s modulus, the thermal expansion coefficient, and the electronic specific heat of ferromagnetic bcc Fe–Cr solid solutions are analyzed, and the approximation of these properties depending on the alloy composition is considered. The effect of temperature on the dimension factor is
