CADWELD Plus   Connections are often the weak point in ground circuits, especially if they are subjected to high currents and corrosion. The capacity of a grounding circuit to protect property and personnel depends on the quality of its connections. Only the CADWELD Exothermic System provides the permanent, low-resistance connection needed to create a long-lasting, reliable grounding networks. CADWELD® PLUS is the latest advancement in the continuing evolution of CADWELD exothermic products. It is a simplified method of performing exothermically welded electrical connections. Features: • The CADWELD PLUS System offers all the benefits of conventional CADWELD connections and more • Consists of a tamper proof, disposable, moisture resistant weld metal cup. The weld metal, disk and ignition source are incorporated into one self-contained package • Colour coded weld metal reduces risk of misapplication and gives a simple visual verification of the correct weld metal size • Electronic Control Unit means no starting material is required and makes ignition very easy • Six foot control unit lead gives increased flexibility in hard to reach areas Applications: • Designed for use in all standard CADWELD molds, including CADWELD® MULTI. More Information Cutaway View of CADWELD Plus CADWELD PLUS Weld Metal comes in color-coded packages to reduce risk of misapplication.   The CADWELD exothermic system makes it possible to produce copper / copper, copper / aluminium, copper / steel, and aluminium / aluminium electrical molecular bonds with no external energy or heat source. The principle consists of bridging together a welding filler material and ignition agent in a suitable graphite mould. The "weld metal" composition depends upon the metal to be welded (copper oxide and aluminium for a copper / copper weld). The reduction of copper oxide by aluminium produces molten copper and aluminium oxide slag at temperatures exceeding 2000ºC.
