2.AdjectiveDescribing 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."
3.NounA material that has the composition of a eutectic mixture or eutectic alloy.
4.NounThe temperature of the eutectic point.
