How does exothermic welding contribute to the electrical conductivity of joints?
Exothermic welding significantly contributes to the electrical conductivity of joints due to the high-quality bond it creates between the materials being welded.Exothermic welding relies on a chemical reaction between a metal powder (usually aluminum) and a metal oxide (often copper oxide) that produces extremely high temperatures—typically around 2500°C (4500°F). This intense heat melts the base metals at the joint, and as they cool, they form a solid bond. The welding process creates a molten ...
