I would not say "anything" however I have seen it burn through a few inches of steel plate in a matter of seconds, melting it down to a liquid
I saw a TV show where they were running experiments with THermite, it can burn through a great many things but it CAN'T burn through Titanium

At what temperature does thermite burn?
The approximate temperature is 2500 degrees celsius, not accounting for a preheat, or other factors that enhance the speed or temperature of the burn. Thermite is estimated to burn 3 times hotter than molten lava.
What is copper thermite?
Copper thermite is a type of thermite where instead of the iron oxide, copper oxide is used instead. The reaction produces pure copper metal, but this thermite gets a little more splattery than the iron thermite.
Is thermite illegal in Kansas?
yes
Is coal the hottest burning substance?
no, I think thermite is.
Is a mixture of glycerin and potassium permanganate flammable?
Yes it is! You will get a thermite reaction
What type of burn is caused by napalm thermite or magnesium?
Thermal Burn
Does thermite work in space?
Thermite has its own oxygen source so it can burn without an outer source of oxygen, including underwater and in the vacuum of space. However, I do doubt that thermite can burn in space, since space is quite cold. It would just depend in how far away from the Sun you are when you light the thermite.
At what temperature does thermite burn?
The approximate temperature is 2500 degrees celsius, not accounting for a preheat, or other factors that enhance the speed or temperature of the burn. Thermite is estimated to burn 3 times hotter than molten lava.
What is thermite welding?
Thermite welding is all about using thermite for welding steel or iron. Thermite is actually a mixture of iron oxide and powdered aluminum.
What type of burn is caused by thermite?
Thermal burn. The molten metal and the heat of the reaction itself would burn your skin and/or a limb off your body if you are ever stupid enough to light it without the right precautions.
What is copper thermite?
Copper thermite is a type of thermite where instead of the iron oxide, copper oxide is used instead. The reaction produces pure copper metal, but this thermite gets a little more splattery than the iron thermite.
What is thermite manufactured from?
Thermite is manufactured from pure metals and avoiding the use of carbon in the process of it. Thermite was originally discovered by a German chemist named Hans Goldschmidt.
What is a nucleur membrane?
it protects the nucleus from anything outside of a cell if able to pass throgh the cell membrane.
Can aluminum-oxide be used as a substitute in thermite?
Yes, the best mixture (cost effectively and fairly good burn) is Aluminum-oxide and Black iron oxide
Is thermite illegal?
Thermite itself is not illegal, but it is highly regulated because of its potential for misuse. Special permits or licenses may be required to possess, use, or transport thermite. It is important to check and comply with local laws and regulations before obtaining or using thermite.
Why is thermite reaction used in industry?
Thermite reaction is used in industry for welding steel together in-place
Where is thermite found?
Thermite is a mixture of 1 part aluminum oxide for every 3 parts iron oxide
