AXI-WELD / EXOTHERMIC WELDING

INTRODUCTION

Axi-weld / Exothermic welding is simple, cost efficient, self contained process of forming high quality connections. This process requires no external power or heat source making it completely portable. It uses high temperature reaction of powdered copper oxide and aluminium, within a mould, to form permanent connections.

In this process connections are made by pouring superheated molten copper alloy on and around the conductors to be joined.The reaction takes place very rapidly, therefore the total amount of heat applied to the conductors or surfaces is considerably less than that of brazing or soldering. This is important to remember when welding to insulated cable or thin wall pipe.

The process use aluminium particles as reducing agent with copper oxide to produce the chemical composition. Exothermic welding is a bonding of high conductivity high copper content alloy and high corrosion resistance.

BASIC INSTALLTION

The majority of connections have at least twice the cross sectional area of the conductors being joined and equivalent or greater current carrying capacity because the connection is a fusion of high conductivity high copper content alloy it will withstand repeated fault current and will not loosen in the way that mechanical connectors can corrosion resistance too, is exceptional, due to the alloy very high copper content.

The moulds are designed to complete +/- 30 connections depending on the care given to the mould during usage, transport and storage.

The exothermic welding process has been used to weld materials other than copper for electrical purposes.Materials welded include:

Stainless Steel, Columbium, Brass, Copper, Plain Steel, Bronze, Nichrome-V, Everdur, Niobium, Galvanized Steel, Kama, Chromax, Silicon Bronze, Steel Rail, Cast Iron, Copper Clad Steel, Cor-Ten, Monel

When welding to galvanized steel it is recommended to resurface exposed bare steel.

Exothermic Process

1. Conductors must be clean & dry when placed in the mould.

2. Close & lock the mould handle clamp.

3. Place the steel retaining disc in the mould cup over the tap hole.

4. Pour weld metal powder into the mould cup.

5. Pour some starting powder on mould lip.

6. Close the lid of mould & from the side ignite the starting powder with the flint gun.

Use Recommended Powder for Recommended Joint. Powders Are Available In Different Gramage For Different Joint.

Accessories

AXT-005 Flint Ignitor

This ignitor is used to ignite the strating powder for making the exothermic welding joint. Each mold with a frame has a flint ignitor included.

AXT-001 Cable Cleaning Brush

The Cable Cleaning Brush is recommended for cleaning heavily oxidized cables. The V-shaped brushes permit their use orver a wide range of cable sizes. Brush assembly consists of a handle with two stiff wire bristle brushes that are Rotatable, for longer life and are replaceable. AXT-002 Bus Bar Cleaning Brush

The Bus Bar cleaning brush is used to clean large conductors and bus bars. It has short stiff bristles. These brushes should not be used to clean molds.

AXT-003 Mold Cleaning Brush

The Mold Cleaning brush is used to clean the molds without damaging the molds.

AXT-004 Mold Cleaners

The Mold Cleaners are used to clean the slag from molds that are not split through the crucible.

PS

For most connections involving lugs, cable or rectangular bus, Handle Clamps are used. These Handles Clamps make possible the use of many different sizes and types of molds with only two different clamps

. These will fit 95% all standard molds.
