Definitions

Eutectoid

Of or relating to a eutectic mixture or alloy.

Eutectic

Of, relating to, or formed at the lowest possible temperature of solidification for any mixture of specified constituents. Used especially of an alloy whose melting point is lower than that of any other alloy composed of the same constituents in different proportions.

Eutectoid

A eutectic mixture, solution, or alloy.

Eutectic

Exhibiting the constitution or properties of such a solid.

Eutectoid

Describing the phase-change reaction of an alloy in which, on cooling, a single solid phase transforms into two other solid phases.

Eutectic

A eutectic mixture, solution, or alloy.

Eutectoid

An alloy of a composition that undergoes the eutectoid transformation.

Eutectic

The eutectic temperature.

Eutectic

Describing the chemical composition or temperature of a mixture of substances that gives the lowest temperature at which the mixture becomes fully molten. A further requirement is that that temperature is lower than the melting point of any of the pure component substances.

Eutectic

(chemistry) Describing the thermodynamic equilibrium conditions where a liquid coexists with two solid phases.
For a mixture with two components at a fixed pressure, the eutectic reaction can only happen at a fixed chemical composition and temperature, called the eutectic point.

Eutectic

Of maximum fusibility; - said of an alloy or mixture which has the lowest melting point which it is possible to obtain by the combination of the given components.

Eutectic

A mixture of substances having a composition providing the minimum melting point ofr mixtures of those substances. Called also a eutectic mixture.
