Thermit joint

Thermit joint, also known as exothermic bonding, thermite welding (TW), and Thermit welding.

There are many advantages of using Thermit joint. The most important one being that the process

produces a molecular joint and not just a mechanical one in between the conductors. It is produced through

a starting reactant which provides enough energy to activate the welding reaction. This takes place quicklyand safely inside a graphite mould. The mould is designed specifically for a certain union depending on the

elements to be welded and the joint type required. We guarantees all types of joints, not only copper cable

unions but also to weld tapes, brass metallic pieces, stainless steel, steel ground rods covered with copper,

etc. It is especially useful for joining dissimilar metals.

Amiable Impex was the first Company in Mumbai to introduce and supply Thermit joint Powder and

Accessories. AI-Weld Exothermic welded electrical connections supply from us will never loosen, corrode or

increase in resistance. We are one of the largest importer ofThermit joint in India. Due to our Superior

and Best Quality we are able to sell our product to Railways Contractors, Rail Metro, Telecommunications,

Earthing and Lightning Installers Industries, as well as to Electrical Suppliers etc.

What does Thermit joint means?

Thermit joint System is a very effective and cost efficient method of making electrical connections in high

quality which includes Large Connection or Small Connection. It is a simple self-contained system that uses

the high temperature reaction of powdered copper oxide, aluminium and other required chemical and

materials, within a mould to form permanent electrical connections.

For more details please visit our website: http://exothermic-welding.com/what-is-exothermic-weld.html

Features of Thermit joint:

Superior electrical conductivity to the conductors themselves.

Does not corrode, oxidize or degrade with time and is resistant to galvanic coupling.

Able to withstand repeated electrical discharges.

Never increases its resistance.

Has greater mechanical and squeezing resistance than the conductors themselves.

What and Which Metal can be Weld through Thermit joint ?

The process ofThermit joint is a method of making electrical connections from Copper to Copper or Copper

to Steel and it can join any Metals to Metals like Bronze, Galvanized metals and Stainless steel etc , in which

no outside source of heat or power is required.

What are the Accessories Requires for Thermit joint Joints?

1) Graphite Mould

2) Thermit joint

3) Steel Disc

4) Ignite Powder / Starting Powder

5) Cleaning Brush Set (Soft, Hard and File Card Brush)

6) Flame Torch

7) Mould Handle

8) Hand Gloves

9) Flint Gun

10) Sealing Compound

For more details please visit our website: http://exothermic-welding.com/exothermic-weld-accessories.html

What is the Process for Thermit joint OR How the Metal is Welded by Thermit joint ?

In Thermit joint Process, the following are the steps

Step 1 - The two conductors that is to be joined are placed in the weld cavity and than the steel disc is

located in the base of the crucible in the Graphite Mould.

Step 2 - After the disc is placed in the Mould, AI-Weld Thermit joint Material is poured down into Graphite

Mould followed by Starting PowderStep 3 - Some Ignite Powder should also be sparkled on the Mouth of Mould and than ignited by Flint Gun.

The process of igniting the particles creates extremely high heat i.e upto 1400 degree Celcius and

produces Exothermic Reaction which also melts the Steel Disc and then the Thermit joint flows into the

weld cavity thus filling any available space and completes the weld. In weld cavity the molten copper alloy

partially melts the conductors. The molten copper alloy gets cooled and forms a fusion weld which solidify

before it is removed from the mould.

This entire process takes only upto 10 to 15 seconds to complete. Then the mould is ready for the

next weld after a brief cleaning with a brush. Exothermic welded connections produce a permanent

connection, superior in performance to any known mechanical or pressure type surface-to-surface contact

connector. Due to the fact that the connection produced is a molecular bond so an exothermic welded

connection will not loosen and there will be increase in resistance over the lifetime of the installation.

The Process is very Simple and hence a Laymen can do the Job Work by just seeing the process once.

Hence one need to ensure that the process should be undertaken carefully and proper instruction should be

maintained by the Laymen.

What are the Advantages or Features of Weld done from Thermit joint

Molecular bonding of Copper to Copper and other metals can be made

Ensure excellent conductivity in the electrical grounding

Thermit joint Joint ensures permanent molecular bond

Longer life span Not required any external power or heat source required

Safe operation, without professional technology knowledge, easy to learn

Very simple tools and equipment that results in execution of high efficiency

Will not deteriorate with age and will never loosen or corrode etc

Application

It is ideal for the following application:

- Earthing joints,

- Strip joints,

- Solid wire joints,

- Rod joints,

- Cable joints,

- Lug connections,

- Cable and Rail joints,

- Continuity bonding and track circuiting, etc.

Hence this Thermit joint is used in Grounding & bonding and lightning protection in Power plants ,

Substations , Transmission line , Refinery , Industrial plant , Commercial plants , Telecommunication tower ,

Building , Housing etc.

Type of Joints possible from Thermit joint:

1) Horizontal Joints

2) Vertical Joints

3) Straight Joints

4) Cross Joints

5) Overlap Joints

6) L shape Joints

7) T shape Joints

According to the customers specification and requirement any shape Joints is Possible through our

innovative design of Graphite Moulds.

Overview:

In Thermit joint, aluminium dust reduces the oxide of another metal, most commonly iron oxide, because

aluminium is highly reactive. Iron(III) oxide is commonly used:

Fe2O3 + 2 Al 2 Fe + Al2O3

The products are aluminium oxide, free elemental iron, and a large amount of heat. The reactants are

commonly powdered and mixed with a binder to keep the material solid and prevent separation. Commonly

the reacting composition is 5 parts iron oxide red (rust) powder and 3 parts aluminium powder by weight,

ignited at high temperatures. A strongly exothermic (heat-generating) reaction occurs that via reduction and

oxidation produces a white hot mass of molten iron and a slag of refractory aluminium oxide. The molten

iron is the actual welding material; the aluminium oxide is much less dense than the liquid iron and so floats

to the top of the reaction, so the set-up for welding must take into account that the actual molten metal is

at the bottom of the crucible and covered by floating slag.

Other metal oxides can be used, such as chromium oxide, to generate the given metal in its elemental form.

Copper thermite, using copper oxide, is used for creating electric joints in a process called cadwelding:

3 CuO + 2 Al 3 Cu + Al2O3

Thermite welding is widely used to weld railway rails. The weld quality of chemically pure thermite is low

due to the low heat penetration into the joining metals and the very low carbon and alloy content in the

nearly pure molten iron. To obtain sound railroad welds, the ends of the rails being thermite welded are

preheated with a torch to an orange heat, to ensure the molten steel is not chilled during the pour. Because

the thermite reaction yields relatively pure iron, not the much stronger steel, some small pellets or rods ofhigh-carbon alloying metal are included in the thermite mix; these alloying materials melt from the heat of

the thermite reaction and mix into the weld metal. The alloying beads composition will vary, according to

the rail alloy being welded.
