Excellent welding work. Good information for engineering students. India Railways is a miracle and symbol of national unity and pride. All this is made possible because of these workers and full team whose names may not have been inscribed near any railway station. Such nameless workers have made India what we see today. All the users of Indian Railways must salute such teams and wish them safety, security, health and well being. Good roads and good ,safe well welded failsafe railway tracks are extremely important for prosperity of our country. Till some new technology comes in use I hope this may continue and it's good demo of exothermic bimetallic reaction in action.

I have seen thermite welding of rail tracks during 1974-75 period at my home town CHENGANNUR while converting metre gauge to broad gauge in the Trivandrum - Ernakulam stretch. But all the works were done manually those days. It is first time that I see a video of mechanically assisted thermite welding of rail tracks. A very good informative video for those interested. Hats off to the uploader as well as the welding team.

My dream Indianrailway 🚃 job.... my trade welder....i feel proud

These people contribution is similar to that of a soldier Glory to our laborer, workers,farmers and engineers

Greetings to India from Jordan 🇯🇴⚔️🇮🇳

I used to do this for New York City Transit back in the 80s, brings back memories, thanks for posting

HEADS OFF TO THEM WHO MAKE ALL THE RAILWAYS TRACKS OF INDIA .APPLAUSE THEM FOR THEIR GREAT WORK .👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

Reaction is as follows 2Al + Fe203 ----> 2Fe(molten)+ Al203 + heat This is highly exothermic reaction This is balanced reaction

सब जुगाड़ू काम है इंडियन रेलवे का! कोई सेफ्टी किट नही है, सोचना चाहिए डिपार्मेंट को आखिर इंसान है ये भी

Most crude way of welding the tracks with shoddy workmanship and great risk to the welding staff and scant regard to environment

Good work despite of less protective gears and practice.. Risking injuries to themselves... Railways must pay attention towards their safy..

É um trabalho incrível esse aí. Eu trabalhei 22 anos em ferrovia aqui no Rio de janeiro, Brasil. Notei a ausência de equipamentos de segurança individual importantes , essenciais: luvas, botinas e roupas reflexivas, capacete se for o caso de descarregar material na via.

जो रेल जॉइंट वेल्डिंग का काम आधा kg या ज्यादा से ज्यादा 1kg थरमाइट मिक्सर से हो जाता उसके लिए लगभग 25kg की पूरी थैली भर थरमाइट जला दिया।। धन्य हो भारतीय रेलवे के मेन्टेन्स कर्मचारी।।अब एक एक करके।पता चल रहा है कि रेलवे में हर जगह कास्ट बढ़ रही है इसलिए घाटा जो रहा है।। ये आज भी 60 के दशक की विधि अपना रहे है।जबकि आज थरमाइट चिप्स उपलब्ध है।

Indian Railway is lifeline for the majority people. Role of the skilled welder very much important in safe n smooth journey of railways. I give my salute in honour to my respected welder

This is the ONLY Indian video I've ever watched where the workers weren't wearing open- toed sandles. They got boots on! Good job!

I supplied this item with Abrasive cutter , Granding Machine , Rail Dolly other tools.I was there when they were working at Alipurduar.

FunFact: Thermite works EVEN BETTER on Twin Towers

I read during college days about thermit welding and its use in railway track joining. After nearly two decades I saw a practical video on it. Its such a nice video watching some basic principles of metallurgy in work. Reduction of iron oxide with aluminium powder and the exothermic heat melts the iron which fills the join.

1st time watching this.Hats off to one &all for this excellent &Hercilious task. We must be greatful to one &all.how much hardwork&pain is behind this.congrates to one &all

Great video. Bt the worker safety conditions are bad. They don't have eye protection, hand gloves etc. Govt should spend some money for this necessary items .

A Special video rarely seen in welding. They should show the video till end, after welding but in the mean time advt photos have come. Great skill job.

1975 ഫെബ്രുവരി മാസം ആറാം തീയതി മുതൽ ഇതേ വെൽഡിങ് വർക്കിൽ തിരുവനന്തപുരം എറണാകുളം ബ്രോഡ്ഗേജ് വർക്കിൽ ഞാൻ ജോലി ചെയ്തിട്ടുണ്ട് അന്നത്തെ വെൽഡിങ് സൂപ്പർവൈസർ ശ്രീമാൻ ഉണ്ണികൃഷ്ണൻ ചീഫ് ശ്രീ തോമസ് സാർ റെയിൽവേയുടെ ഭാഗത്തുനിന്നുള്ള എ പി ഡബ്ലിയു ശ്രീ ഈപ്പൻ സാർ ഇവരെയൊക്കെ ഓർമ്മയുണ്ട്

The reaction of this is as follows: Al + fe203(ferric oxide)---->>>Al203(aluminum oxide) + fe (in molten state) + heat

Very good work usefull thank brather❤

In Europe during thermite welding on railways track workers using safety clothes,hand gloves 🧤 etc while doing this, but in our country they don't wear any safety equipment while working.

Big salute to this railway solider.

Good work 👍💯

Please hold camera at fixed place.... Good video

Good method but they don't follow safety rules

First time seeing this welding, pahle bar dekh reh

थर्मित रिकेशन 👉Fe2o3 (s)+2Al(s)=====>2Fe(l)+Al2o3(s)+ऊष्मा 🔥🎯 railway lover ❤️

We are travelling safe and happy journey by the hard ana dedicated working people like this. Million times thanks to them. God bless you. He will give good health and wealth.

Metallurgy ka chapter yaad agya

I remember as a child, my mom saw a crew doing this on the railroad, and we all waited in the car and watched.

Good great video. This kind of welding is usual since 6 years in the Netherlands.🇾🇪🇮🇳. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.

Quite interesting to watch...Was always wondering how this welding is done at site. finally seen it.. Great job by I.Rlys.👌👍👏...i feel proud being a Railway man's son.

No employees using personal safety equipment. No glasses, no gloves, no leg protection. Working with molten metal without proper precautions. It seems to me that India has a lot to evolve in terms of work safety and respect for the human being of the worker.

Seumur hidupku selama 54 tahun baru kali ini melihat pelaksanaan kegiatan pemeliharaan dan perawatan rel kereta api?

I happened to come to this video from an earlier video I watched on Thermite welding. Though I like this video, 1st thing that struck me watching this is that workers were not using gloves. Don't know if this is the issue with weather (sweltering hot & humid), but still think using heavy gloves will help from safety perspective not create problem. I still remember, my father told me - 1st thing he did when he had to manage a defunct factory & restart production - of a famous household cleaning and cloth whitening chemical factory. He Helped workers by giving them gloves, because the chemicals used to make workers (mostly women) sick & they couldn't eat food properly for days due to smell of it that gets absorbed under skin.

Thermitschweissen ist eine Kunst und die Künstler absolute Fachleute. 💪👏🤝🚂

Watching from fiji islands..iam locomotive driver

Nice video

Nice video . Apart from the welding itself which was cool , I also think of the engineering skills of the people that design and build the equipment to make it happen. Its anazing to see what the human mind is capable to create for good.

इस वीडियो के निर्माण के लिए हृदय से नमन

I like Indian Railways and the disciplined Railway Employees. Jai Bharat 🙏 Jai Shri Ram

बहुत ही सही है सर जी

बोहोत ही सुंदर 👍👍

The thermite welding of the rails in situ has been shown which gives an idea for a lay man. The cutting of slag and extra metal Over the rail head and sides has not been shown by which the vedio is only half and create doubts in the minds of the laymen as to how the train can b allowed. However good efforts have been taken to educate the people with regards to rail welding

Skilled work, nice

Well-done Ashish.My heartiest congratulation.

Nice video sij ji 👍👍👍

Very hard work save people God bless you

Impressive considering the weight, weather and vibration. I like knowing about any crafts.

Very antiquated and slow method.

Оскар за операторскую работу, и попу посмотрели и рельсы с разными углами наклона камеры, Голливуд его ждёт.😊

Wow, 12 million views in 2023, very interesting video.

thermite welding reaction or alumnio thermi syllabus in class 10th chemistry (metal and non metal chapter) (topic metallurgy)

Nice work

It's a great learning...Matter of pride how our Railmen are mastering the work with display of skill managing the work group... congratulations!!

Nice 👍👍❤️

Sotti... Aj mai samjha kase do rail ko connect karte hai.etna din thermit process parha tha or aj dekh bhi liya.. 👌

जबर्दस्त कार्य पद्धति

Hats off to this highly skilled dedicated team. I have seen it for the first time.,though I had heard of it. It will make our journeys safer.

Different methods used to weld👌

Superb quality skills work

रेल्वेचे कर्मचारी एवढे मन लावून काम करतात त्यांना आमचा सप्रेम नमस्कार

Без спецодежды без всякой защиты Хозяин экономит на безопасности простых работяг

Such a hard work without protection in hot weather and that too for menial wages.Respect to these workers for such a hard job🙏

Badhiyaa ekdum

Very nice

Hard-work put in dis wrk is jst priceless.salute to the workers and team.

Though I appreciate the hard work done by the team in thermit welding, Imagine the work force needed and the cost involved including the machinery and the time it takes. Has technology is at standstill and we are poor in R&D.Imagine the total cost involved in joining many rails. One answer is corruption😂 in the railway ministry. The contractor is the benefeciary and not the tax payer.

Two men are working hard. others are Taking Over time.

Encouraging clip a big thumbs 👍

Excellent Video-Summery. Thank You 👍

Valuable presentation, thanks with 🙏

Hats off to the team of railways who have implemented new technology in welding of tracks. 🎉🎉🎉

Please make slow camera movements.

Very nyc Job

Great Railway men who devote their skill and hard labour for nation at any hard situation . Regards to them .Jai hind .Jai Bharatiya Railway .

2 trabalhadores + 3 fiscais + 5 supervisores + 6 engenheiros

Keep sharing such type of practical and informational videos 🧡🙏

Great job. The last part of the final touching has not been shown in this video.

👍👍

I just joined Southern railway welder apprenticeship

Really excellent. No doubt about. Spirited team.

Good work, these guys should be provided with basic PPE. Work gloves at least.

Amazing the number of efficient short cuts one can do without osha on your gotdam back ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Very hard work👍👍🌹🌹🌹

Very hard work 👍

Please wear hand gloves, safety helmets and Sun glasses also wear bright colours safety jackets. Nice work well done 👏 well

As a Station Master I have seen this process in different way, at the same cooling period is not allowed due to traffic congestion or workload.

I love all the safety equipment they use 😆 man I can hear the reprimand once the door closes

Good work 👍

Gas welding is better option. In Thermit welding there is chance of gap which molten metal may leak out. 🔥🔥

Excellent, expert welding process...

Great work and service

nice work brother

Highly informative video!

Very nice Ashish Bhai, humara support rahega iss channel par
