Invariant Reaction, Invariant Temperature
Index
An invariant reaction for a binary alloy is one occurring when three phases are in equilibrium. Application of the Gibbs phase rule to this system under constant pressure conditions indicates that it has no degrees of freedom and, therefore, the composition of the phases and the temperature of the reaction are all fixed. 

Eutectic, peritectic, monotectic, peritectoid and eutectoid reactions are all invariant and take place at an invariant temperature for the system.
