Sorry for my english! Non-native language :)

I'm looking for literature on aluminothermy. More specifically, the design of equipment for aluminothermy. Perhaps someone has a reference to the book or the address of the sites of companies that are engaged in the production of such equipment.
I would greatly appreciate your help!

There are two mayor suppliers/designers of thermite welding charges in Europe: Elektro-Thermit (German) and RailTech (French).
Their website probably doesn't contain much propairity information, but it's a start.
You'll also find some technical information in the two standards related to thermite welding: EN14730 part 1 and 2.

If you should encounter any more suppliers/fabricants, please leave a message, as I would be interested in meeting them too.

Many thanks for the link!
These manufacturers make equipment for welding rails. We have a slightly different problem - reducing metal oxides using aluminothermy. And equipment - a reaction chamber. Screw feed charge in the chamber. Furnace, and so on. Up to the aspiration system.
But in any case, - useful links. If I find something on my topic - I am sure to tell you.
 

I'm working on the creation and production of ferroniobium & ferrotitanium. Trial experiments were successful. Now I need to increase production. That's why I am looking for information about those who engage in such equipment.
Good day for all!
