Question:-

AnSWer:-
Thermite process is mainly used in broken rails, broken machine parts etc can welded without removing them from their original sites.
❐ When the mixture is ignited, ferric oxide is reduced to metallic iron by aluminium. Because of evolution is large amount of heat, temperature rises to ~ 25000°c.
The molten iron thus produced is allowed to fall on the red hot broken ends of iron pieces and joins them together.
