When I was in the US Navy nuclear field, we had both stainless or Alloy 600 or Inconel and we were supposed to use powdered graphic in iso-alcohol which was terrible. When no one was looking we would use a graphic based, hi temp anti-seize. that was the same the gunners and missile folks used on their rails or other moving parts. The heat from a missile launch would not burn it off. I bought ours at Summitt Racing as used on nitro dragsters/funny cars.

We also found that tolerances between male/female threads was way closer than regular steel nuts and bolts so we would do a test fit and at times dress the male threads slightly to provide some clearance.
