Ferrite Toroid Core: Magnesium-Zinc Ferrite Reheated 18 h at 1000 °C and 20 h at 750 °C (Snoek 1948, Ex. III)

Snoek's magnesium-zinc ferrite ring (Example III), fired at 1400 °C and then given a second long treatment in oxygen: 18 hours at 1000 °C and 20 hours at 750 °C. He measured how its losses change with frequency, but gives no permeability for the reheated core. Source: J. L. Snoek, US 2,452,529 (Philips, 1948), Example III. Picture: our diagram.

Instructions

1

Weigh 28 : 18 : 54 mol %

Mix 28 mol % magnesium oxide, 18 mol % zinc oxide and 54 mol % ferric oxide. Ours, by weight: 10.06 g magnesium oxide, 13.06 g zinc oxide and 76.88 g ferric oxide per 100 g.

Materials for this step:

Magnesium OxideMagnesium Oxide10.06 g
Zinc Oxide PowderZinc Oxide Powder13.06 g
Ferric OxideFerric Oxide76.88 g

Reheat: 18 hours at 1000 °C, 20 hours at 750 °C

Heat the cooled core to 1000 °C and hold it there for 18 hours, then at 750 °C for 20 hours, and cool slowly again, all in oxygen. Snoek shows the resulting losses only as a curve; he gives no permeability for it.
