SPECIAL PROCESSES WITH THE THERMIT WELDING TECHNIQUE

SONDERVERFAHREN DER THERMIT-SCHWEISSTECHNIK

The Thermit welding technique can be used for a number of special purposes in addition to the well-known process for welding rail joints. Thermit contact surfaces provide reliable electrical connections between current return cables and the rail; they can be used for re-surfacing rails and eliminating defects on the head of the rail. A new field of application is in annealing processes where the rail is subjected to heat treatment while in place on the track.
