Eutectic Systems

Eutectic systems involve two or more substances combined so that they melt or solidify at a specific, lower temperature than either substance alone. When mixed in precise proportions, they form a unique mixture called a eutectic, which transitions between solid and liquid states simultaneously at this specific temperature. This behavior is useful in various applications, such as metal alloys and soldering, because it allows for a controlled melting point and solidification process, improving material properties and performance. Essentially, eutectic systems enable precise temperature control through their unique phase change characteristics.
