  "term": "Eutectoid reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A phase transformation in which a single solid phase cools and transforms isothermally into two or more different solid phases. This reaction occurs at a specific temperature and composition, known as the eutectoid point, in a multi-component system. A common example is the transformation of austenite into pearlite (ferrite and cementite) in steel.",
