What is exothermic welding and why is it used?
Exothermic Welding (Exothermic Bonding) is an advanced method for creating permanent metal connections, particularly in grounding (earthing) systems, lightning protection, and industrial electrical connections. This technique uses a heat-generating chemical reaction to form a low-resistance, long-lasting bond, ensuring safe and durable connections in industrial and infrastructure projects.
Applications and Benefits of Exothermic Welding
Petunia’s exothermic welding is widely used in grounding systems, lightning protection, cathodic protection, and conductor connections. This method creates a permanent connection that is highly resistant to corrosion and heat while maintaining minimal electrical resistance, guaranteeing optimal performance of electrical systems and site safety. Key benefits include fast installation, minimal labor requirements, and long-term durability.

Exothermic Welding FAQ
Exothermic welding is a safe and durable method for connecting conductors in earthing systems, cathodic protection, and surge protectors. This method creates stable and long-lasting connections without the need for electrical current or external heat.
For performing exothermic welding, special powders, welding molds, and standard connectors are used that react with copper and steel conductors to create a strong and stable bond.
The main advantages include very high resistance, long lifespan, no need for complex equipment, rapid and safe execution, and reduced risk of incomplete connections or corrosion over time.
