 Introduction

• A mixture of fine Aluminum powder and Iron

Oxide that produces a very high temperature on
combustion, used in welding and for incendiary
bombs
• Thermite reaction involving Aluminum is also
called Goldschmidt Alumino Thermic reaction.
Usually this reaction is triggered by burning
Magnesium ribbon in presence of Barium
Peroxide.
 Composition

• By weight, 75% of Iron Oxide and 25% of

fine Aluminum Powder (OR).
• Fine Aluminum Powder and Iron Oxide should
have a ratio of 1:3 by weight
• We can also use Copper and Chromium instead
of Aluminum.
 Working

• The ends of parts to be joined are kept

parallel with a uniform gap between them.
• That gap is filled with wax which becomes
the pattern.
• Molding sand is rammed around a wax
pattern. Pouring gate, heating gate and
risers are cut.
Thermit Welding Set-Up
 Application

• This process is used to weld very large works like

joining of rails, pipes, broken teeth on large gears and
large frame work.
• This process is generally used for welding ferrous
metals.
