Chapter 12, Problem 12.95P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The eutectoid reaction needs to be differentiated from martensitic phase transformation.

Concept Introduction:

Three phase reaction as the name suggests a solid transformation into two other solid phases at the same time. Three phase reaction is also termed as a eutectoid reaction. In the eutectoid system, a solid phase replaces the liquid phase, this phase involves the transmission of solid phase into two other solid phases.
