  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003281",
  "term": "Discontinuous precipitation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A solid-state phase transformation where a new phase precipitates from a supersaturated solid solution at a moving reaction front. This process involves the simultaneous nucleation and growth of two new phases, often forming a lamellar structure. It is characterized by a distinct interface separating the parent and transformed regions.",
