From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peritectoid is a type of isothermal reversible reaction that have two solid phases reacting with each other upon cooling of a binary, ternary, ... , n\! alloy to create a completely different and single solid phase.[1] The reaction plays a key role in the order and decomposition of quasicrystalline phases in several alloy types.[2]
