Introduction:
Exothermic welding is a process that uses a high-temperature aluminothermic reaction to fuse metal conductors. It is widely used in power distribution, telecommunications, grounding, and industrial applications.
How Does Exothermic Welding Work?
- Aluminothermic Reaction: Copper oxide reacts with aluminum, generating extreme heat (~2,500°F).
- Graphite Mold: The molten metal flows through a graphite mold, forming a solid, conductive joint.
- Cooling & Bond Formation: The reaction creates a molecular-level bond with excellent mechanical strength and conductivity.
Industrial Applications of Exothermic Welding:
- Grounding & Bonding: Essential for safe and effective electrical grounding.
- Lightning Protection: Used in buildings and power plants.
- Substations & Power Plants: Ensures reliable energy transmission.
- Telecommunication Towers: Provides corrosion-resistant grounding solutions.
