    I have never used them the way  you want but I have used a number of
    metal based anti sieze compounds  copper based  to  about 1800 F .
    Hot times have been  extended  not days or hours.  There are some
    nickel based ones that are rated to 2400 F.   There are also some
    using mica  for high  temperatures. 

    Many people sell these. Loc  Tite is probably the easiest place to
    find some but any of the tool  supply houses  should carry
    somebodies.  Another  thing to try is  using dissimilar metals for
    the nuts and bolts.  I have always thought invar  bolts might work
    better then the traditional ones.  Used against steel or Stainless
    Steel plates you would increase the  pressure on the work as the
    metal  heated up.   Using the anti sizes may take some
    experimentation.
