Hi Dave,
Sorry, I must disagree; your definition of "1) Eutectic: when a metal alloy 
transforms from a liquid state into a
single solid state" is wrong.
A eutectic alloy composition is by definition that composition where the 
alloy's Solidus and Liquidus temperatures coincide and having the lowest melting 
temperature among all other alloy compositions of the same materials.
