| eutectic |
An alloy of two or more metals combined to achieve a melting point lower than the melting points of the parent metals. This process is used in granulation. In this case, the parts to be joined fuse together only at the contact points. Many combinations of metals have a eutectic relationship which may cause one metal to melt into the other when they are heated past the melting point of solder. This is especially evident in soldering silver to brass.

| eutectic |
The lowest temperature at which a mix of two materials will melt. Often the temperature is an anomaly, that is, it is much lower than the melting temperatures of only slightly different mixtures. Lead-tin solder is an example. Lead melts at 327C, tin at 231C. The lowest melting combination is 67 lead, 33 tin (180C). Non-eutectic mixtures have a melting or softening range. Such mixtures do not flow well until thoroughly heated past the softening range. ...
