 Permanent, Welded Connections

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 produces a permanent, high conductivity connection

- Cathodic Protection Connections

CADWELD connections are the accepted method of attaching cathodic protection leads to pipes (steel or cast iron), tanks and structures

CADWELD connections weld conductors to the object to be protected. Therefore, no galvanic corrosion can occur at the interface. (With mechanical connections, surface contacts are present, and can corrode, resulting in an ineffective current path)

CADWELD connections for cathodic protection use a special alloy to provide minimum heat effect on the steel, especially important on thin wall, high stress pipes

CADWELD connections are also used for header cable taps, conductor splices and terminations, and ground rod connections

- A CADWELD Connection
Has current carrying capacity equal to that of the conductor is permanent - cannot loosen or corrode to cause a high resistance connection
Uses lightweight, inexpensive equipment
Requires no external source of power or heat
Requires no special skills
Can be easily checked for quality.
