thermiten.

Brit.

/ˈθəːmʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈθərˌmaɪt/

Forms: Also thermit.

Etymology: < German thermit, < Greek θέρμη heat, θερμός hot + -it = -ite suffix¹.

A mixture of finely divided aluminium and oxide of iron or other metal, which produces on combustion a very high temperature (c 3000° C.) Invented by Mr. Claude Vauten of London; named subsequently by Dr. H. Goldschmidt of Essen.In form thermit a proprietary name.

1900 Engin. Mag. 19 756/2 A mixture called ‘thermit’ consisting essentially of iron oxide and aluminium.

1901 Westm. Gaz. 2 May 4/2 The application of ‘thermite’, as the mixture has been named, to welding steel tubes and rails was illustrated.

1901 Nature 8 Aug. 362/1 To this mixture the name of ‘thermit’ has been given, and several varieties of it, adapted to various kinds of work, are used.

1906 Dundee Advertiser 26 June 10/1 The heat developed in the combustion of thermit,..which makes it possible to mend iron castings weighing tons.

1918 Nature 14 Nov. 217/2 Thermit, now an important munition of war, is in a class by itself. It is used for charging incendiary bombs and sometimes in a kind of shrapnel.

1971 B. Scharf Engin. & its Lang. xi. 115 The thermite is ignited and the hot metal allowed to flow into the mould, where it fills the gap between the two parts and forms a collar around them.

1973 R. Dentry Encounter at Kharmel xi. 198 The third explosion..set off thermite positioned under the big transceiver.

ΚΠ

1927 Jrnl. Iron & Steel Inst. 115 909 The welding processes considered by the author are thermit welding, resistance welding..and metallic arc welding.

1980 Times 19 Feb. 3/3 There are at least 700 track welds, called thermit welds, similar to the one that failed.

C2.

thermite process n. the reduction of finely divided oxides of iron or other metals by means of an exothermic reaction with finely divided aluminium; also, thermite welding.

1958 Chambers's Techn. Dict. 955/1 Aluminothermic process..also known as the thermite process, is used especially for the oxides of metals which are reduced with difficulty.

1980 Daily Tel. 19 Feb. 6/8 British Rail uses two main welding techniques. One, the thermit process used along the Bushey track, involves welding long stretches of rail together at the site.

thermite welding n. fusion welding in which the heat and the weld metal are produced by the thermite process.
