Q: Can I fire small ceramic sculptures with a torch? If it's possible, can you give me details on how to do it? Best answer to whoever gives me thorough details. Thanks!

No , I agree with Tigris that it is not a wise thing to attempt. If you haven't done you piece yet, there are several clays on the market. Choose a clay based on what you want to do and what tools are available to you. I sculpt in high fire clay - it needs to be fired in a ceramic kiln to get its greatest strength. I pay to take classes and I joined a pottery guild that has kilns and firing. A lot of people use polymer clay. This needs to be baked to cure. This can be baked in a home oven. I have used an electric roaster that I can put outside so the fumes are outside of my living area. There are other clays that have an additive that melts when baked. I haven't used those There are modeling clays that never harden like plasticine - an oil based clay There are air dried clay - they are not as strong as the other clays and have a tendency to break There are some modeling pastes that are epoxy. They set up by a chemical reaction

Q: which are better for agressive driving

I alway get the one that cost the most, they work better.

Q: What is the working principle of power ceramics?

The working principle of electric ceramics is as follows:When the voltage is applied to the piezoelectric ceramic, it will produce mechanical deformation with the change of voltage and frequency. On the other hand, when a vibrating piezoelectric ceramic is produced, an electric charge is produced.According to this principle, when given by the two piezoelectric ceramic or a piezoelectric ceramic vibrator (pressure) form and a metal sheet, called bimorph element, applying a signal, it will emit ultrasonic vibration due to bending. Conversely, an ultrasonic signal is generated when an ultrasonic vibration is applied to the bimorph element. Based on the above action, piezoelectric ceramics can be used as ultrasonic sensors.

Q: Are ceramic watch links just metal links dipped in ceramic coating? I‘m allergic to most non precious metals. I think a ceramic watch might work for me. Any info would be helpful.

They are fully ceramic and you should be able to use it. Every watch store has a return policy (if it doesn't then you should be buying watches from it) If it doesn't work out (there is too much metal in the band) then return it!

Q: since we are running out fast of natural resources such as iron could ceramics be used as a potential replacement since we have an almost unlimited supply and with advancing materials technology we could potentially use them for everything from cars to buildings or could we thats what and i wana know

No, ceramics are brittle. So if you made, for example, an automobile out of ceramics then it would just shatter, the same as a ceramic dinner plate if you roll it down a steep hill. Brick buildings are already made from brick, which is pretty much a ceramic. Ceramics are made from metal oxides in any case, so they do not conserve metals, they just use up different metals. Advancing materials technology has given us a machinable ceramic called Mycor, but it is still brittle.

Q: So I wanna change my exhaust manifold on my 03 RSX Type S (headers, exhaust) but I can‘t really get a clear answer on what kind is best; Ceramic coated or stainless steel? I understand that ceramic keeps cool but what are the pros and cons? And also which would be better for my type of car; 4-2-1 or 4-1 headers? Only bolt on so far is a short ram. Thanks

This is a cylender so to find the volume you must square the radius and multiply it by pi and multiply that by height and then multiply that with the density for your answer. First you have to convert the mm to centimeters and find the volume of the copper- 1mm.1cm VolumePI*R*R*H So Volume3.14*1.5*1.5*.1.7065 Now, Density Mass/Volume Thus Mass Density*Volume .7065cm3(the Volume)*8.96g/cm3(the density) 6.33024Grams(the mass) So the answer is 6.33024Grams, unless you need to use significant figures whereupon the mass would be 6.33 grams.

Q: And, what are they used for?

If you are looking for technical ceramics? then. Alumina, used as stucture mateiral in industrial furnace, as they could with stand high temp and relatively cheaper. Boron carbide, extremly hard and not heavy, could be used as bullet proof vest. Silicon nitride, ceramic bearings Zirconia, grinding media There's a lot more pure and mixture materials, such as silicon carbide, magnesium oxides, boron nitrides.

Q: How can I clean ceramic tile floor without leaving a film?Ive tried mixing water vinegar, plain dish soap (tiny bit), your common household cleaner like pine-sol and they all leave film. I do have hard water so that might be the problem. ;}

Method makes a cleaner for marble, it is called The Daily Granite. It is available at the grocery store that I work at. I noticed that you can also get it online at Amazon. Lowes has it here in Indiana, according to the Method web site. Okay, that is the cleaning product part, now for the no-streak part. I once new a woman from the old country who was taught by her mother not to use a mop but to get down on her knees and wash the floor by hand, maybe you could use and old towel or something soft- yet stronger than paper towels. But if you are a modern gal, maybe your swiffer mop thingy will work with this product. G-d bless, D.

Q: What kind of ceramic bowl is good?

Look at the bottom of the bowl. The ceramic surface is called glaze. Because of the burning, the contact surface can not have glaze, so the bottom of the circle you see is the most true ceramic body fineness. All right, the body is white. Looking at the glaze. Glazed smooth for better, you can find the angle of light, glazed, and some have small pores. If you can't tell which color the bowl is made of, the suggested place is to be in touch with the food.

Q: Can ceramic bowls go into the oven?

check the bottom labelling
