eutectoid

[yü′tek‚tȯid]

(metallurgy)

A mixture of phases whose composition is determined by the eutectoid point in the solid region of an equilibrium diagram and whose constituents are formed by the eutectoid reaction.

(physical chemistry)

The point in an equilibrium diagram for a solid solution at which the solution on cooling is converted to a mixture of solids.

Eutectoid

a eutectic that forms when a solid solution cools. In a phase diagram, a eutectoid point corresponds to the equilibrium of a solid solution whose phases have dissociated; the number of phases is equal to the number of components. A eutectoid point is analogous to a eutectic point in the case of the solidification of a liquid solution. An example of a eutectoid is pearlite in steel.

Materials processing and texture

The most promising alloying elements in development of high-temperature, thermally stable titanium alloys are aluminium, gallium (they increase temperature of polymorphous transformation), zirconium and tin (which almost do not affect temperature of phase transformation), molybdenum, vanadium, niobium, tantalum (which do not have eutectoid points with titanium), and silicon (it forms eutectics, that's why its content, as a rule, does not exceed 0.4%).
