Question:

is it possible to squeeze a metal plate between two layers of ceramic?

is it possible to stick a metal sheet on a ceramic before it is kilned and later cover it again with ceramic to hide the sheet? in other words, can i glue a metal plate on my old ceramic vase and cover it with ceramic paste again? thanks

Answer:

no, they have different thermal expansion quotientsAt least not if you want to completely enclose the steelIt's probably going to crackbut why then would you want to do that anyway? The less you enclose the steel the more it has a chancealso adding fresh clay to an already fired piece is problematic, because the fresh clay will shrink a lot while drying, the fired will notAgain you will get cracks before firingIf you keep filling those up eventually it could work.
i have no clueand i have no clue what that even iswrong section by chance?
