Wax. if you heat clay, you will see the moisture (water) dry off. This and metals (metals are known to have very high melting points in general) have higher melting points in general).
Please note, some metals are actually liquid at room temp, e.g. cesium and Mercury.

Does potassium have a low melting point?
Potassium does have a high melting point, it is 63.7 degrees Celsius.
List six physical changes that matter can go through?
When a solid changes to liquid it's called melting. When a solid changes to gas it's called sublimation. When a liquid changes to a solid it's called freezing. When a liquid is changed to a gas it's called evaporation. When a gas changes to a solid it's called deposition. When a gas changes to a liquid it's called condensation.
Is clay and polymer clay the same?
Hope this helped! No....Polymer Clay and Reg. Clay are not the same. For One Polymer Clay can be 'cured' in your home oven where other clay need either air to dry them or a High Fire Kilm.
Why is aluminium called silver from clay?
because it looks like clay and is silver
What does a crucible look like?
A crucible looks like a small and durable cub with no handles. They are usually made of ceramic or metal, and are used to melt substances.
Why is graphite mixed with clay to make crucibles?
Graphite is mixed with clay to form refractory crucibles due to it's high melting point, inert nature and abilities to conduct heat.
When was Metal clay created?
Metal clay was created in 1990.
Can clay melt?
Melting point varies based on the minerals that compose the clay(???), and firing time seems to be just as important[1]. Try to find out the composition of the specific type of clay you're using, and ask local potters and suppliers. Prepare a sample and ask a kiln operator to fire it, checking occasionally to see how the clay is reacting.During the firing process, the clay is gradually heated through various stages of chemical change until the particles begin to melt and fuse together (vitrification)[2][3]. It has 'matured' when the clay has reached its highest density before beginning to deform. Over-firing can actually reduce it to a puddle.The firing process can be monitored using 'cones', pieces of specially mixed clay that begin to melt at specific temperatures[1][4].[1] http:/pottery.about.com/od/temperatureclayglazes/tp/pyrocones.htm[2] http:/www.wingedblue.com/conechart.html[3] http://z.about.com/d/pottery/1/0/b/0/-/-/tempclay.jpg[4] http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrometric_cone
Can you fire wire in a clay sculpture?
This depends on he melting temperature of the wire that you are using. It also depends on the firing temperature of the clay. If the melting temperature of the wire is higher than the firing temperature of the clay, then wire can be added to a clay piece.
Does potassium have a low melting point?
Potassium does have a high melting point, it is 63.7 degrees Celsius.
Is it safe to put metal wire - as support in a clay sculpture - in an oven?
It is safe, the only issue I have is that the metal is going to expand and the clay will shrink. This may cause cracks in the clay.
What changes mineral grains into rock without melting them?
They can be "cemented" as some mineral such as calcite, aragonite, hematite, or even silica precipitates out of solution between them. Or clay minerals between the grains can harden under pressure and heat well short of their melting point.
What are malleable wax unbaked clay baked clay or metal?

What is the advantage to using a metal pan insted of a clay pot cooking?
Metal pans heat up faster than clay pots. Also, metal in most cases is able to cook more evenly than clay because it is more consistently made.
