The Exothermic Welding Process is a simple, efficient method or welding Copper to Copper of Copper to Steel. One advantage is that No outside power is required when using the Exothermic Process. The exothermic process uses high temperature reaction of powdered copper oxide and aluminium. The reaction takes place in a semi-permanent graphite mold. These molds should last approximately forty or more welds if proper care is given. The reaction takes place very rapidly; threfore the total amount of heat applied to the conductors or surfaces is considerably less than that of brazing or soldering. This is important to remember when welding to insulated cable thin wall pipe.

This system is very field friendly, since its is light and portable and requires no outside power source. It requires very little time or skill to obtain an efficient, maintence free connection when using this Exothermic Welding Process.
