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 will happen if aluminum is mixed with copper?
If a mixture of the right amount of aluminum and copper is lit on fire at a high enough temperature then it can produce Thermite, which burns at an extremely high temperature.
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
How do you light thermite without magnesium?
A welding torch might work. But it's not always very safe, since you are standing rather close to the thermite if you are torching it directly. If you can't get your hands on magnesium, you can try to use some types of sparkler fuses. Some of these fuses are hot enough to initiate thermite, although I'll just go with magnesium to save the hassle if a fuse doesn't work.
Is thermite an explosive?
Thermite is not an explosive. However, most types of thermite, especially copper, burns very hot and fast, and can splatter molten metal all over the place. It doesn't go boom like a pack of TNT, but it is still pretty dangerous.
What will happen if aluminum is mixed with copper?
If a mixture of the right amount of aluminum and copper is lit on fire at a high enough temperature then it can produce Thermite, which burns at an extremely high temperature.
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 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.
Why is thermite reaction used in industry?
Thermite reaction is used in industry for welding steel together in-place
Is thermite illegal?
Thermite is not illegal in (most) countries, as long as you keep yourself and everyone else safe from it.
Where is thermite found?
Thermite is a mixture of 1 part aluminum oxide for every 3 parts iron oxide
What are the products of thermite?
For the classical iron oxide and aluminum thermite, the products of the reaction are aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and iron (Fe). However, there are many kinds of thermite, but they always produce the pure metal from the oxide.
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.
Is thermite legal in Canada?
yes
Is Thermite Illegal in Montana?
It is ilegal
Is thermite illegal in Kansas?
yes
