Exothermic Welding for Earthing: Principles, Advantages and Supply Options

Exothermic welding, sometimes referred to as thermite welding or exothermic bonding, is a proven method for permanently joining conductors for earthing (grounding).

This process is particularly effective for connecting dissimilar metals. It works without an external heat source, using a chemical reaction from a thermite-based weld powder to generate intense heat. This heat melts the conductors, creating a robust, low-resistance bond as the materials cool and solidify.

Exothermic welds offer a superior performance in terms of electrical conductivity and long-term reliability when compared to mechanical connectors.
