Aremco Ultra-Temp 516 is a premium single-component inorganic ceramic adhesive filled with zirconia (ZrO2) and zirconium silicate, engineered for ultra-high temperature structural bonding applications up to 1760°C (3200°F). It is specifically formulated for high-stress bonding of dense technical ceramics, graphite, quartz, and refractories operating under extreme thermal cycling and mechanical loading.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Zirconia-Based Strength: Delivers exceptional mechanical bond strength and toughness at continuous temperatures up to 1760°C (3200°F).
- Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance: Zirconia formulation resists cracking, spalling, and degradation caused by rapid temperature fluctuations.
- Vacuum & Chemical Stability: Non-outgassing formulation suitable for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments and resistant to harsh chemical exposure.
- Thermal Expansion Matching: Closely matches the thermal expansion coefficient of high-density alumina, zirconia, and refractory components.
Typical Applications:
- Structural bonding and fixturing of silicon carbide, alumina, and zirconia components in semiconductor processing equipment.
- Assembling graphite heating elements, ceramic insulators, and furnace linings in high-vacuum RF furnaces.
- Bonding ceramic sensors, quartz tubes, and high-temperature structural assemblies in aerospace testing fixtures.
