Problems Will I have problems with wire baked in oven baked clay?

I am planning an armature for use in stop motion. I will use 3 steel wires twisted together using a drill. I am planning to have oven-bake polymer clay (such as Sculpey of Fimo) on the wires. It would be wrapped around tightly to give some bulk to the upper arms, thighs, chest, head, etc. They

The clay bakes at 250º Fahrenheit (121º C). At that temperature, will the strength of the steel wire be compromised if I bake it in the clay? It is important that the wire is stiff, and is able to bend without breaking. Will the clay break when fired around the wire?
