John, I don't see why it should not work if the mating surfaces are flat without big gaps? I flew 20 hours with these gaskets and they were still white when I took the flange off.
My augmentor tube is made of aluminum. The part that is getting hit by the exhaust gasses, I laid a layer of FF and than thin layer of stainless sheet metal. The paint on the aluminum does not even change color.

It was mentioned a while back that fiberfrax was used on each side of the copper gasket.  I have a used copper gasket (turbo) and the question is, if the fiberfrax will take the exhaust abuse on each side of the copper gasket with out the protection of a copper liner, why not use fiberfrax, .0125" as the sole gasket.  JohnD    Working on SS tunnel liner backed with fiberfrax to protect fabric from exhaust.
