How to pronounce “thermite” in English

My first thermite weld.

So you might expect that after thermite was invented, railroads would've been excited to weld their rails together with liquid metal,

This is because when the liquid thermite steel is poured in, it will contract as it cools, which creates an inward pulling force.

In the middle is the thermite steel.

And around half use Goldschmidt's thermite.

Initially, thermite found limited applications, repairing heavy machinery in remote locations.

So, the thermite reaction is taking place inside.

The final zone is in between the normal rail and the thermite steel.

And we'll learn how to work with thermite under these conditions.

Reactions of this type are known as thermite reactions.

The next step is to ignite the thermite.

What is the likelihood that they have ridden over one of your thermite welds?

Now, the boundary of the thermite steel isn't sharp.

Conditions that are expertly tuned to protect thermite from its environment.

- For this video, I got the opportunity to weld two rails together using thermite.

And the first step in welding rail is therefore to create a gap into which we'll pour the liquid thermite steel.

Every year, around 2 million welds are performed using thermite.

So far, we've seen thermite under normal conditions.

- So, I put the plug in the mold, and then the thermite bucket on top, and then I ignited it...

So I wanna say a big thank you to Saily for sponsoring this video, and now back to thermite welding.

But in the next thermite episode, we'll find out what happens when this is not the case.
