Strontium-Calcium Ferrite Disc Magnet: Equal Strontium and Calcium, 1280 °C (Went, Philips 1956, Ex. 27)
A ferrite with half the strontium replaced by calcium: 0.3 mol strontium carbonate and 0.3 mol calcium carbonate to 3.1 mol iron oxide, milled 15 hours, pressed and passed through a 1280 °C furnace in 10 minutes. Went's rod held 1,645 gauss with a coercive force of 2,460 oersted.

Weigh the carbonates and iron oxide
Weigh the carbonates and iron oxide
Weigh 44.3 g strontium carbonate (0.3 mol), 30.2 g calcium carbonate (0.3 mol), 500.0 g ferric oxide (3.1 mol).
Materials for this step:
Strontium Carbonate44.3 g
Calcium Carbonate - Whiting30.2 g
Ferric Oxide500 gTools needed:
Balance Scale
P100 Respirator2

Press at 1.5 t/cm²
Press at 1.5 t/cm²
Press the dry powder at 1.5 tonnes per cm² (ours: discs instead of a rod).
Tools needed:
Hydraulic Press

Pass through a 1280 °C zone in 10 minutes
Pass through a 1280 °C zone in 10 minutes
Sinter at 1280 °C by passing the pieces through a 10 cm hot zone at 10 mm per minute: 10 minutes in the heat.
Tools needed:
Tube Furnace
Heat-Resistant Gloves5

Magnetise the discs
Magnetise the discs
The patent gives no magnetising method. Ours: lay a disc with its faces against the poles of a strong electromagnet, switch the current on, then off. Find which face is north with a compass.
