Aluminothermic Reduction Manganesedioxide, Ferric oxide andaluminium pow-der were used to prepare thermit mixture of different molar ratios. Preliminary experiments showedthat re-duction reactions were incomplete in the case of stoi-chiometric mixture. Therefore, suitable composition for the above two systems Mn02-AIand Fe203-AIwere
