    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_lance

    oxygen lance. burning bar. Uses. cutting, heavy demolition. A thermal lance, thermic lance, oxygen lance, or burning bar is a tool that heats and melts steel in the presence of pressurized oxygen to create very high temperatures for cutting. It consists of a long steel tube packed with alloy steel rods, which serve as fuel; these are sometimes ...

  4. Thermate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermate

    Thermate. Thermate is a variation of thermite and is an incendiary pyrotechnic composition that can generate short bursts of very high temperatures focused on a small area for a short period of time. It is used primarily in incendiary grenades. The main chemical reaction in thermate is the same as in thermite: an aluminothermic reaction between ...

  5. Nano-thermite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano-thermite

    Nano-thermite or super-thermite is a metastable intermolecular composite (MIC) characterized by a particle size of its main constituents, a metal fuel and oxidizer, under 100 nanometers. This allows for high and customizable reaction rates. Nano-thermites contain an oxidizer and a reducing agent, which are intimately mixed on the nanometer ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_welding

    Exothermic welding. Exothermic welding, also known as exothermic bonding, thermite welding (TW), [1] and thermit welding, [1] is a welding process that employs molten metal to permanently join the conductors. The process employs an exothermic reaction of a thermite composition to heat the metal, and requires no external source of heat or current.
