Detailed Description
The high-temperature ignitor plays a crucial role in the thermite welding process by providing the necessary heat to start the thermite reaction. This reaction, which involves the combination of thermite welding powder—typically composed of aluminum powder and metal oxide, such as iron oxide (Fe₂O₃)—generates extreme temperatures exceeding 2500°C. These intense reaction temperatures enable the efficient melting and bonding of metal components, making the ignitor a vital tool in rail welding, pipeline repairs, and other industrial welding applications.
