What is alumino thermic reaction???
Answers
The thermite Reactions in which Aluminium is used as a reducing agent are known as Aluminothermic reactions.
The process in which Aluminium is used to reduce the metal oxide to metallic form are called aluminothermy.
The Aluminothermic process in which iron oxide is reduced to iron is used in following purposes :
★ In welding processes to join the broken iron pieces.
★ In joining cracked machine parts.
★ In joining railway tracks.

ANSWER:-
Aluminothermic process is a process in which iron is obtained from iron oxide by using Aluminum as reducing agent.
It is a displacement reaction which is highly exothermic in nature.
OR
Thermite is a substance composing of a metal powder and a metal oxide that produces an exothermic oxidation-reduction reaction known as a thermite reaction. If aluminum is the reducing agent it is called an aluminothermic reaction.
2Al + Fe2O3------) Al2O3 + 2Fe
⏺️This process is use in welding rail tracks.
