Welding powder & Welding moulds for Sale Kenya
The weld metal powder, consisting of powdered aluminium and copper oxide. The powder is poured into a graphite mould (as shown right) followed by the ignition powder. Nothing more than a spark is required to ignite the powder. The heat from the resultant exothermic reaction produces moulten copper and aluminium oxide slag. In a matter of seconds the molten copper melts the metal disc and flows down the tap hole and over the conductors in the weld chamber, melting them and welding them into a solid mass
Benefits 1. A greater current capacity than the conductors 2. Lower electrical resistance than a mechanical joint 3. Will not corrode - lasting indefinitely 4. Lends itself to field work since it requires no external heat source 5. Time saving (entire process takes only a few seconds) 6. No special skills required, only minimal training 7. Superior to all known mechanical or pressure connectors
