What is the difference between freezing point and solidification point?

May I ask, do the terms \"freezing point\" and \"solidification point\" refer to the same concept among marine enthusiasts? What’s the difference?

The freezing point, also known as the solidification point, is the temperature at which a substance undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid; it is influenced by external conditions such as atmospheric pressure. In English, it is referred to as the freezing point (with another term being solidifying point). Most definitions describe the freezing point as the temperature at which a substance changes from liquid to solid, or from solid to liquid, although this value is affected by atmospheric pressure. In Chinese chemistry, it is commonly called the solidification point (a more formal term, as ice is the solid form of water); literally, it can be understood as the critical point at which a substance transitions from solid to liquid. However, in everyday language, when people refer to the “freezing point,” they usually mean that the temperature has dropped below zero degrees. For a precise definition, one can consult the standard definition provided in the Xinhua Dictionary.

Same meaning. Refer to Wikipedia: http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E5%87%9D%E5%9B%BA%E7%82%B9

They are still different; the solidification point is mainly used to evaluate diesel, while the freezing point is used to evaluate kerosene

Freezing point, solidification point, and crystallization point should be the same concept, right? It seems that the freezing point applies only to aviation kerosene. Everything else is called the freezing point.

In summary, the freezing point and solidification point refer to the same state, differing only in their areas of application

The freezing point is an inherent property of crystalline substances; it is a specific concept introduced for amorphous petroleum products; The freezing point is a commonly used indicator to measure the antifreeze performance of heat transfer fluids; it essentially represents the freezing point of such fluids at a standard atmospheric pressure of 101.325 KPa
