Cadweld Molds, Grounding, and Welding Equipment

Browse GME Supply's selection of Cadweld molds, grounding, and welding equipment. Cadweld connections are made with a semi-permanent graphite mold, which holds the conductors to be welded. Weld metal (a mixture of copper oxide and aluminum) is dumped into the top of the mold. The mold is covered and the weld metal ignited. The exothermic reaction produces molten copper, which results in a permanent, high conductivity connection. A Cadweld connection has current carrying capacity equal to that of the conductor, is permanent with a low resistance connection that cannot loosen or corrode, uses lightweight, inexpensive equipment, requires no external source of power or heat, and can be easily checked for quality.
