Graphite is mixed with clay to form refractory crucibles due to it's high melting point, inert nature and abilities to conduct heat.
You need to be a good with clay to make a model of Jaguar out of clay.
Firing clay is when a clay is fired in a kiln, this is to make the clay stay strong.
Clay is used to make potuary. play-do is like clay, but for children.
you take a lot of clay flatten some of it to male the walls then make the roof the same way then you can make a ground or not then you can carve a door or a window or both you can do anything on it
I would make the clay into slip and roll it out. Get a cookie cutter in the shape of a star and press it into the clay.
To make it harder. Pure graphite would be too soft for use as a writing pencil.
Graphite, a form of carbon
Graphite is the mineral that is used to make the lead in a pencil. Despite its name, pencil "lead" is actually composed of graphite mixed with clay.
The mineral is graphite.
The mineral mixed with clay to make pencil lead is graphite. Graphite is also used as a lubricant for machine parts and as electrodes in batteries due to its ability to conduct electricity.
Graphite is the mineral mixed with clay to make pencil lead. It provides the dark pigment needed for writing and drawing and is a popular choice for its smooth writing properties.
Graphite is used to make crucibles because it has a high melting point, excellent thermal conductivity, and chemical inertness, making it ideal for containing and withstanding high temperatures during melting processes. Additionally, graphite crucibles are durable, provide good heat distribution, and resist thermal shock.
Graphite is what is put inside a pencil. The outer casing of a pencil is usually wooden.
A "pencil lead" is a mixture of the graphite allotrope of carbon mixed with clay and baked hard. While a pencil lead will conduct electricity, it can not be used to make a light bulb.
it is mixed with clay to form cement.
First, the 'lead' in a pencil is not lead it is a mixture of graphite (a form of carbon) mixed with clay (the more clay the 'harder' the pencil). The lead portion is extruded in a long rod and then cut into lengths. The wooden sheath is made in two halves which are glued together round the lead.
Carbon is used in a pencil because it leaves a mark by transferring from the pencil's graphite to the writing surface. The carbon is mixed with clay to give it structure and make it suitable for writing. The carbon in pencils is commonly referred to as graphite.
