Heat Transfer From Resistance Element to Metal Component

[normynormand]

Hello Physics Forums!

My problem is as follows. I have a device that produces heat via Nichrome coils. I want to heat another small piece of metal (in this case stainless steel) with those Nichrome coils. I need to reach 175 degrees C, and so far I haven't found a readily available thermal adhesive that will work in my temperature range. Is there a high temperature thermal adhesive available to consumers that I could use? Any suggestions on another way to effectively transfer the heat from the coils to my small metal component?

Thanks in advance for your help!

There are a number of thermally conductive epoxys available that are used primarily in electronics manufacturing. This web site has some examples, but there are many others.

Thanks for the reply. I tried Masterbond, however they only sell in large quantities to businesses.
