Including: Eutectic Line, Eutectic Tie Line
Phase diagrams may have no eutectic point or more than one. A eutectic point defines the temperature and composition at which the eutectic reaction occurs. It is the bottom point of the "V" formed by two liquidus lines.
The eutectic line or, more accurately, the eutectic tie line is the constant temperature line through the eutectic point.
