Exothermic Powder

Application and Features

An exothermic powder is applied to the feeder’s head. The exothermic weld process uses a high-temperature reaction of powdered copper oxide and aluminum. The reaction takes place in a semi-permanent graphite mold.

Advantages

Molecular Joint Process – The most important one is 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.
