Ceramix U529 – Strain Gauge Adhesive
U529
Description
Fortafix Ceramix U529 is the replacement product for Brimor U529. It is a smooth yellow paste, has a high bond strength, and produces a very hard and tenacious cement when finally cured. It is used as a high temperature strain gauge cement and is designed for use on heat resistant steels and 'Nimonic' alloys, and when applied to these materials has an operating range up to temperatures of 750°C.
Summary
Fortafix Ceramix U529 is particularly suited to use on heat resistant steels and 'Nimonic' alloys, and when applied to these materials has an operating range up to temperatures of 750°C. It can however, be applied with equal facility to the low alloy steels, cast iron, and also to some non-ferrous metals such as brass, titanium, copper and aluminium alloys. In these cases the bond is not so effective as on to steel, due to the effects on cement/metal bonding or surface oxidation of the metal at elevated temperatures.
U529 is used in practice where a high degree of cement/metal adhesion is required - such as would be encountered where gauges are attached to gas turbine rotor components revolving at high speed and are subject to the effects of centrifugal load, gas erosion, and temperatures greater than 700°C.
