Eutectic steel is a type of steel that consists of two or more phases that solidify in a specific composition during cooling. Eutectoid steel, on the other hand, is a type of steel that undergoes a eutectoid transformation at a specific temperature, resulting in the formation of pearlite microstructure. Eutectoid steel has a single-phase microstructure, while eutectic steel has a multiphase microstructure.
The eutectic point of a mixture is defined as the temperature at which a eutectic mixture freezes or melts. A eutectic mixture is a mixture that melts and solidifies at a single temperature that is lower than the melting points of the individual constituents.
Phases and types of steel and carbon content in steels.
Hypo-eutectic steel has a carbon content below the eutectic point, resulting in a microstructure with some ferrite and pearlite. Hyper-eutectic steel has a carbon content above the eutectic point, leading to a microstructure with primary cementite and pearlite.
Pro-eutectic refers to the phase that forms before a eutectic reaction occurs in a metal alloy. Eutectic refers to the specific composition in an alloy where the solid phases melt and solidify simultaneously at a single, specific temperature.

Castolin Eutectic was created in 1906.
The population of Castolin Eutectic is 2,000.
No, copper and gold do not form a eutectic system. They have a limited solubility in each other but do not exhibit a eutectic reaction.
Eutectic is a binary system of two substances which are miscible in all proportions in the liquid (molten) phase but do not react chemically. They have the property of lowering each others freezing point. The minimum freezing point attained is called Eutectic point and composition corresponding to Eutectic point is called Eutectic mixture. This type of system is called Eutectic system.
The eutectic point of a mixture is defined as the temperature at which a eutectic mixture freezes or melts. A eutectic mixture is a mixture that melts and solidifies at a single temperature that is lower than the melting points of the individual constituents.
