Exothermic Welding Kit Tools & Accessories
Graphite Mould
Our Graphite moulds are made of high-quality graphite and are designed to last for an average of 50 connections. This will vary according to the care given to the mould during use. We recommend not using the mould for more than 60 joints as the weld cavity gets worn out after every joint, eventually making the weld cavity shape improper
Exothermic Weld Powder
This is supplied in a moisture-resistant pouch/plastic container with special closure caps. Standard product codes available are #045, #065, #090, #150, #200 & #250 each. The pouch/container consists of the weld metal powder & starting powder/ignition powder which is at the bottom of the pouch/container.
Mould Handle Clamp (Universal)
For most connections involving lugs, cables, or rectangular bus, mould handle clamps are used. These are suitable for 90% of all standard exothermic moulds. Normally we recommend one handle clamp for every two moulds.
Steel Metal Disk
The Steel metal disk is a very important component & it is mandatory for every joint. The disk acts as a timing device to allow the weld powder to react & wait till the slag separates out from the molten copper. It then melts away, allowing the molten copper to flow into the weld cavity.
Ignition Powder (Starting Powder)
Ignition powder, also known as Starting powder, is required to start the exothermic reaction. Sprinkle a little on the weld metal powder and again sprinkle a little on the igniting hole/slot provided in the mould lid. Ignite it with an igniting device.
Hand Gloves
High-temperature resistant gloves are an integral part of the Al EARTHING kit & are required for the safety of the operators as the molten metal reaches temperatures in excess of 1400 degrees Celsius (2550 degrees Fahrenheit).
Flint Gun
It is used to ignite the starting powder, which results in the exothermic reaction. We recommend one flint gun for every 50 shots.
File Card
It is used to clean the objects to be welded.
Sealing Compound
Sealing Compound is used to fill the gap on the mould where the conductor is passing.
Brushes (Soft and Hard)
Soft Brush: Used to clean the mould weld cavity so as not to damage its critical shape.
Hard Brush: Used to clean other sections of the mould. We recommend a pair of brushes for 50 joints.
Slag Removal Tool
This tool is used to remove the slag formed after the reaction, ensuring a clean weld area.
Safety Eye Glasses
It is mandatory to wear safety eye glasses before making an exothermic connection.
Flame Torch
Graphite absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, so there is a need for a flame torch to dry out the inside of the mould thoroughly on both sides.
