Extra Information:
Thermit Welding =>
1. Thermit welding is done for welding rails. Thermit welding is also known as Exothermic welding or exothermic bonding.
2. During this welding process molten metal is poured in the gap to join the conductors permanently.
3. The reaction which happens is called thermite reaction.
Fe₂O₃ + 2Al => Al₂O₃ + 2Fe
Iron Aluminium Aluminium Iron
Oxide Oxide
4. In the reaction Aluminium reduces oxide of Iron Oxide(it can be other metal too) and we gain products which are Aluminium Oxide and large amount of heat.
