Do You Know about Exothermic Welding? Introduction Exothermic welding, also known as thermite welding or aluminothermic welding, is a process that creates a permanent electrical connection between metal conductors using a chemical reaction. It involves the controlled reaction of a powdered mixture, typically containing metal oxides and powdered metals, which …
