Conclusions

The basis for new concepts concerning the eutectic in the liquid and solid states and the interatomic interactions of the eutectic phases has been presented in this article. Improvement of the model requires further experiments and discussions. In discussing any model on the structure of eutectic melt systems one must consider data on the limiting solubility of eutectic components (at temperatures close to the melting temperature of low-melting point components), and find an explanation for the correspondence of the crystallization temperature (during slow cooling) and eutectic melting (if one takes into consideration the inaccuracy of assuming that diffusion plays a determining role in the initial stages of eutectic and contact melting. This inaccuracy was proven in [1, p. 115].).
