Abstract

Aluminium thermite research has made significant progress in recent years, especially in the Al/CuO system to show its scientific value and application potential. Starting from the history of aluminothermite development, types of aluminothermite production methods, and exploration based on Al/CuO system. The development history of aluminothermics is briefly described. Advantages and disadvantages of various aluminothermic agent preparation methods, existing new methods. Overview of titanium-containing polymers, silicone-containing polymers, fluorine-containing polymers, and other additives based on the Al/CuO system to enhance the performance of aluminothermic agents.
