Here, alpha phase starts to solidify at any nucleation site, such as a defect on the container wall or. In eutectic system, there is always a specific alloy, known as eutectic composition, that freezes at a lower temp. The eutectic temperature is the lowest possible melting temperature for all of the mixing ratios of the component substances in a eutectoid.
The temperature at which the eutectic mixture freezes or melts is known as the eutectic. This particular mixture is known as a eutectic mixture. Thus, a eutectic mixture can melt at a temperature lower than the temperature required to melt either of the individual components. And when we go through the eutectic composition, what we find is above the eutectic isotherm, we have 100% liquid. The matrix is a fine mixture of bcc fe and fe3c compound. Compositions are plotted across the bottom of the diagram. Thus, the eutectic point can be shifted due to nonequilibrium conditions in the system. Solidliquid phase diagrams for each eutectic phase change material are developed by modeling method.
