Bonding Carbon to Stainless Steel

Bonding Carbon to Stainless Steel

Bonding Carbon to Stainless Steel

(OP)
I would like to Attach/glue a small carbon pile to a stainless steel plate. This is a need for electrical conductivity and an ability to handle temperatures of 250-300 deg C.
Is there an adhesive means for this or can someone suggest a mechanical solution?

RE: Bonding Carbon to Stainless Steel

Make a hole in your SS plate to allow passage of a long and small diameter SS bolt. If that is not possible , then weld an SS bolt to your SS plate. Bore a hole slightly wider than the bolt diameter through you carbon conductor and glide your carbon tube conductor over the bolt. Secure the carbon conductor to his place by turning a copper or plastic nut over the bolt thread. Don't use a SS nut, in order to avoid blocking. SS bolt and SS steel nuts block very easily when screwed on each other , and are then definitively blocked. Take a bigger carbon conductor to eliminate the material loss caused by the bore. Contact issues between you carbon piece and the SS plate are then very easily solved ; if your carbon is narrowly fitting the bolt , you even can use a liquid conductor 'grease' to increase the conducting contact surface between the carbon tube and the SS bolt.
