Exothermic welding to enhance the integrity and longevity of the weld

Every one now is familiar with the earthing techniques and the components used in the technique. Earthing technique and electrical safety provisions is around us since thousands of years. Conductor dug deep inside an earth pit surrounded by soil enhancing compound can deliver earth connection.
This connection to the conduction part of the ground to achieve electrical contact is referred to as earthing.It is a necessity in almost every industry for every electrical/electronic component. Electrical faults are unpredictable issue which can be disastrous if there is no appropriate protection system installed.Connection of the equipments to the ground is a tedious process and need to given proper care as once the connections are established, they are expected to stay so for a really longer service life.
Exothermic welding system is the only permanent way to joint two or more dissimilar conductors. Conventionally, we made use of techniques such as crimping, brazing, bolting, and various other compression methods – all these methods were later proved to be create low quality welds. These methods can hamper the functioning of the installation as they get loose and damaged over time. The rate of corrosion is also high for these methods as they make highly porous joints.

For better conductivity, longevity and electrical conductivity parameters the conventional methods were gradually made obsolete and that gave way for exothermically welded joint.They make a low resistant joint with 100% contact surface enabling continuity in the electrical network. All the small and heavy connections in the earthing installation need to be proper, effective and long lasting.Maintenance free earthing system utilize this connecting scheme as they enhance the weld resilience and forms a perfectly finished joint with zero defect.This technique is applied universally owing to other parameters such as – ability to withstand repeated voltage spikes without any failure.

Features of exothermic welding system
  •     Aims to make rigid and air tight joint that doesn’t loosen with time.
  •     Able to withstand repeated voltage spikes.
  •     Provides lowest possible earth path resistance.
  •     Can stand temperature beyond 1083°C.
  •     There is no requirement of external heating provision.
  •     Conforms to – IEEE 837, IEEE 80 and NBC 2016
  •     Resistant to corrosion.

The guaranteed results when it comes to jointing is always labeled as the exothermic weld joints. Jointing is required in various shapes as per the concern. To build such strong connection joints, JAMWELD toolkit creates a vital role. The incorporation of the desire joints is accessible with the help of exothermic welding kit. The kit contains the abundant components that provide stable solution for endless jointing. 1.        Exothermic Welding powder   In the welding powder, the mixture of the metal oxide and copper compound both builds a sturdy joint that create an abiding connection. 2.        Exothermic Welding Mould The mould is constructed with a graphite mould that oversee the molten weld flow and form an exothermic weld joint. 3.        Exothermic Welding Handle Clamps In the exothermic welding, the handle clamp is a safe initiate that should be used properly during the formation of the joint. It helps to carry the mould tightly. 4.        Exothermic

The main purpose of the earthing system is to provide a path for fault currents to flow and dissipate into the ground which work as safety measure to protect human life as well as equipment. The joint and connection plays an important role in an effective earthing system. The JAM WELD Exothermic welding kit provides a definite molecular bonding among two or more metallic conductors to join them permanently having same or different cross-sectional area. This can be held by the process of exothermic reaction. The difficulties that have been encountered in conventional method of welding and jointing are: - jointing failure due to less contact surface area and aging due to atmospheric corrosion. These problems are removed when exothermic solution comes in practice. It requires no external heat or force in its procedure. Unlike mechanical joints, the connection provides 100% contact surface area. This jointing can be made in between copper to copper, copper to steel etc. The exothermic
