Definition
置换 is a formal/technical verb meaning 'to replace, substitute, or permute'. In chemistry it refers to displacement reactions (e.g., 置换反应); in mathematics it means permutation (reordering elements). The general sense of 'replacing one thing with another' is common in engineering and everyday contexts. Use it when the replacement is systematic or structural.
