Hot iron ?!

Reactions in and with liquid metals are common methods in solid state chemistry - usually under controlled conditions in the laboratory. During the Long Night of Science it gets hot outside!

description

Many syntheses of intermetallic materials require high temperatures, for which furnaces of various types are normally used. In contrast, the thermite process - today mainly used for rail welding - runs almost entirely without external energy input due to a redox reaction. Many of the questions and working methods of our institute can be explained by means of rections and products.
