Thermit welding uses the following energy source ?

Correct answer: B. Chemical energy

  • A. Electrical energy
  • B. Chemical energy
  • C. Energy of high velocity electrons
  • D. Heat generated by friction

Explanation

Thermit welding uses an exothermic chemical reaction, usually aluminium reducing a metal oxide, to produce molten metal and intense heat. Thus its energy source is chemical rather than electrical or frictional.
