The thermite reaction is exothermic and burns at a rate much higher than standard oxidation. Thermite is composed of a metal oxide, fuel and a metal powder, often aluminum. The types and amounts of each component may vary according to the application and recipe. There are both iron and copper thermite types.
Iron thermite consists of iron (III) oxide or iron (II,III) oxide as the oxidizer. Copper thermite uses copper (I) oxide or copper (II) oxide. The thermite reaction can be hazardous due to the high heat involved in the reaction as well as the risk of flying pieces of molten iron during the process.

Hi,
The thermite reaction is the reaction of metal oxide with the aluminium. The aluminium acts as a reducing agent and is highly exothermic and hence called a thermite reaction.
The aluminium reduces the oxide of another metal,
For e.g. Iron oxide (FeO) .The reaction involved can be shown as:
Fe2O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2O3
It is used to join railway tracks or cracked machine parts.
Hope it helps :)
