Including: Eutectoid Solid, Eutectoid Phase, Eutectoid Reaction, Hypo-Eutectoid, Hyper-Eutectoid, Eutectoid Tie Line, Eutectoid Line, Eutectoid Point, Hypereutectoid, Hypoeutectoid
Eutectoid means, literally, "eutectic-like". Eutectoid is used to signify that the liquid phase in a eutectic phase diagram has been replaced by a solid phase. Otherwise the eutectoid and eutectic definitions are identical. For example, in steels the solid gamma phase undergoes a eutectoid reaction to become a lamellar mixture of alpha and cementite.
