A thermite reaction is a type of aluminothermic reaction in which aluminium metal is oxidized by the oxide of another metal, most commonly iron oxide.
The thermite reaction is an exceedingly dangerous reaction and should only be performed by a trained chemical professional capable of assessing the risks.
A thermite reaction generates large amounts of ultraviolet radiation and is extremely exothermic.
