CADWELD^® exothermic welding is a process for making large and complex welded electrical connections of aluminum-to-aluminum, copper-to-copper or copper-to-steel in which no external source of heat, such as electricity or gas, is required. The process produces a permanent molecular bond.

CADWELD connections...

• assure that the current-carrying capacity of the connection is equal to or greater than the conductor's.
• will not loosen in service.
• electrical resistance will not increase with age.
• require no maintenance.
• can be made to any size or shape of conductors.

CADWELD connections can be made in a highly magnetic environment.
