Which of the following is not true for Thermit Welding.*a) It is a welding process for joining two electrical conductor, that employs superheated copper alloy to permanently join the conductors.b) When molten, the flux becomes conductive, and provides a current path between the electrode and the work.c) The process employs an exothermic reaction of a copper thermite composition to heat the copper, and requires no external source of heat or current.d) The reactants are usually supplied in the form of powders, with the reaction triggered using a spark from a flint lighter
Question
Which of the following is not true for Thermit Welding.*a) It is a welding process for joining two electrical conductor, that employs superheated copper alloy to permanently join the conductors.b) When molten, the flux becomes conductive, and provides a current path between the electrode and the work.c) The process employs an exothermic reaction of a copper thermite composition to heat the copper, and requires no external source of heat or current.d) The reactants are usually supplied in the form of powders, with the reaction triggered using a spark from a flint lighter
Solution
The statement that is not true for Thermit Welding is:
b) When molten, the flux becomes conductive, and provides a current path between the electrode and the work.
This statement is incorrect because in Thermit welding, the process does not involve any electrodes or flux. Instead, it uses a chemical reaction to produce intense heat, which is then used to join the conductors. The reaction is typically initiated using a spark from a flint lighter. The other statements accurately describe the process of Thermit welding.
