It is sold as `THERMITE'.
Yes, it is being supplanted by specific clamps and compression `fittings'

Another common product is CadWeld. It's available from industrial-type
suppliers. The molds run fifty bucks more or less and the shots are $4-5. You
need a separate mold for each type of connection. You can spend a hundred
bucks or more real easy on this stuff but it's what the pros use.
