Can I use it on a diy stand for bead firing? How many times can I refire it?
|
Respuestas de Scarva:
|
It will most likely not be strong enough, depending on the amount of weight you have on the wire but to be honest you would be best using some sort of high temperature rod. Hope this helps.

I am building a raku kiln and need to wire on the ceramic fiber with ceramic buttons. Is this the best gauge wire to use or would you recommend another thickness?

What's the melting point of this wire? Thanks, Mandy
|
Respuestas de Scarva:
|
This is a high temperature wire which will Withstand temperatures exceeding 1300oC, however once it is above 1200oC it will begin to lose its integral strength and become weaker the higher you fire.

Is this Nichrome wire? and does it turn black when fired at 850 C or stay silver?
|
Respuestas de Scarva:
|
It is Nichrome high temperature wire, it will turn black when fired above 300oC.
|
High temperature armature wire may be incorporated into the actual structure to support your sculpture at the making stage. This wire is suitable for firing.
