Steel clays need to be fired in an oxygen-free environment or you'll have major oxidation problems. I don't realistically see this ever becoming a thing. >500

Possibly. Again, it depends on the metal you use. With the right steel or aluminum alloy I could imagine seeing something on this order.
- davidHartkop 13y agoHave been working with a pottery studio that does quite a bit of reduced-firing for special types of glazes. The clays that require low-oxygen to be fired can be embedded in special types of activated charcoal & reducing agents within the kiln. We've had some excellent results with bronze, have yet to try iron & steel. The firing instructions on those clays are similar to the bronze, however.
