Ferrite Toroid Core: Magnesium-Zinc Ferrite Fired at 1400 °C in Oxygen (Snoek)
Ferrite is a ceramic magnet: iron oxide combined with other metal oxides, carrying magnetic flux while hardly conducting electricity. Snoek at Philips (US 2,452,531, 1948) made this magnesium-zinc ferrite ring: magnesia, zinc oxide and iron oxide ground together, moulded with water into a ring and fired in oxygen at 1400 °C for 1 hour, then cooled slowly. His ring had an initial permeability of 525.

Fire 1 hour at 1400 °C, cool at 3 °C a minute
Fire 1 hour at 1400 °C, cool at 3 °C a minute
Heat the ring in oxygen to 1400 °C for 1 hour (instead of 1300 °C), then cool it in oxygen at about 3 °C per minute. Snoek's ring had an initial permeability of 525.
