Wikipedia
Eutectic alloys have two or more materials and have a eutectic composition.
When a non-eutectic alloy solidifies, its components solidify at different temperatures, exhibiting a plastic melting range.
A eutectic alloy solidifies at a single, sharp temperature.
Conversely, when a well mixed, eutectic alloy melts it does so at a single temperature.
The phase transformations that occur while solidifying a given alloy can be understood by drawing a vertical line from the liquid phase to the solid phase on a phase diagram.
