eutectic system

A eutectic system involves two or more materials that, when mixed in specific proportions, melt and solidify at a unique temperature lower than their individual melting points. This creates a distinct point called the eutectic point. At this temperature, the mixture transforms smoothly between solid and liquid states, often resulting in a fine, uniform microstructure. Eutectic systems are important in metallurgy and materials science because they allow precise control over alloy properties, such as hardness and melting behavior, by optimizing composition and processing conditions.
