| Summary: | Exothermic welding is a welding process at extremely high temperatures, based on
chemical reactions that release significant amounts of heat. This is a fundamental process in
making electrical connections, especially in the installation of earthing sockets, where high
strength and long-term reliability are required. This article explores the physicochemical
principles of exothermic welding, the processes involved, as well as their applicability in the
creation of earthing sockets, taking into account relevant technical regulations and industry
standards. In this paper, six exothermic welded joints between copper sheet and electrode will
be analyzed, on which electrical contact resistance measurements will be made. The aim is to
determine how the electrical contact resistance is influenced by the material from which the
parts that are aluminothermically welded to make earthing sockets are made. |
