How Exothermic Welding Works?
Exothermic Welding is used to Joint Copper to Copper or Copper to Steel where conductivity plays a very important role.
The Exothermic Weld Connection are solid molecular bonds, they do not loosen or corrode over the lifetime of connection. The ame cannot be said about other methods; such as brazing, crimp, split bolt, or compression type connections.
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, Exothermic Weld Powder Material is poured down into Graphite Mould followed by Starting Powder
Step 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 Reactionwhich also melts the Steel Disc and then the Exothermic Weld Powder 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.
exothermic weld is a process that achieves the molecular binding among two or more metallic conductors by a chemical reaction. This molecular binding improves mechanical, electrical and anti-corrosion properties compared with any mechanical connection.exothermic weld is the best way to make permanent, reliable and high conductivity connections for any installation requiring an earthing system.
