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.

Can thermite burn throgh anything?
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
What is thermit process?
Thermite process is a procedure of welding using an exothermic reaction to produce a high temperature.
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 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 do you use thermite for?
Thermite is a substance that burns at a very high temperature for a few seconds. It is used usually to weld railroad tracks solid all the way through. All though some people have found other uses for it. Most of those are just burning big holes in things :P
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.

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 thermit process?
Thermite process is a procedure of welding using an exothermic reaction to produce a high temperature.
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.
Is this how you spell thiright?
There are a number of words that might be spelled or sound like that: - "the right" (not the left) - "thyroid" (a gland that regulates metabolism, among other things) - "thermite" (metal oxides that burn to create a very high temperature) - "thirty-eight" (the number 38)
How thermite reacts with ice?
There are two possibilities. Possibility 1: The thermite through burning is reaching a temperature high enough to give enough energy to break the Hydrogen- Oxygen bond, therefore producing two highly flammable gases which would then explode. Possibility 2: As the thermite is burning it melts the ice to water and then to water vapour, this will then aeresolise the thermite rapidly therefore giving the illusion of it exploding, but not actually doing so.
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 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.
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
