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.
Thermite process is a procedure of welding using an exothermic reaction to produce a high temperature.
Thermite welding is all about using thermite for welding steel or iron. Thermite is actually a mixture of iron oxide and powdered aluminum.
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.
The reaction is:Fe2O3 + 2 Al = 2 Fe + Al2O3
TW = thermite welding, a welding process that requires no external source of heat or current.
Most thermite reactions use Fe2O3 (iron(III) oxide, aka rust) and aluminium powder.
Thermite reaction is used in industry for welding steel together in-place
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.

a thermite reaction - it gives off heat, a LOT of it. look it up on youtube if you got a minute to spare
