Advantages of Exothermic Welding:

1. Current carrying capacity of the connection equals that of the conductor.

2. Connections will not deteriorate with age since they are welded.

3. Connections are permanent molecular bonds that cannot loosen.

4. Connections are unaffected by corrosive products- to same degree as copper.

5. Connections can withstand repeated high current surges without deterioration.

6. Minimum training is required to make connections.

7. Material to make connections is light and portable.

8. External heat or power is not required to make a connection.

9. Connections can be visibly checked for quality.

10. Connections can be used to weld copper, copper alloys, copper clad steel and various steel alloys including stainless steel.
