Thermite is not illegal in (most) countries, as long as you keep yourself and everyone else safe from it.
it is illegal to make or possess more than 1 gram of any pyrotechnic composition. Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition, so unless you get permission to use a highly combustible substance at a rock concert, I'm afraid that you can only make it in 1 gram quantities, IF you want to pay attention to the law... if you don't however... just don't go blowing up government buildings! The previous answerer was incorrect about the amount that is legal to own. I owned over five pounds of thermite and some other pyrotechnic compositions, and as long as I used it for non-malicious purposes and keep everything safe, no one had a problem with it. I'm pretty sure it is legal to own in the UK, as most other places. Just make sure everyone and everything is safe when you do light thermite or any other pyrotechnic composition. However, flash powder is somewhat of an expection, since it is considered a type of explosive in some places.

Thermite is not specifically illegal in Kansas, but it is classified as an incendiary device and its use is regulated by federal and state laws. Using thermite inappropriately or causing harm or damage with it can lead to legal consequences in Kansas.
No it is not. You can own termite in the US.
No, but it's extremely dangerous and you probably shouldn't mess around with it.
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.
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 reaction is used in industry for welding steel together in-place
Thermite is a mixture of 1 part aluminum oxide for every 3 parts iron oxide
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.
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.
