Strontium Ferrite Disc Magnet: 1 : 10 Strontium to Iron Oxide, 1280 °C (Went, Philips 1956, Ex. 26)
A strontium ferrite with much more iron oxide: 0.1 mol strontium carbonate to 1 mol, made as in Example 25 but passed through a 1280 °C furnace in 10 minutes. Went's rod held 1,200 gauss with a coercive force of 3,610 oersted.
Source: J. J. Went, G. W. van Oosterhout and E. W. Gorter (Philips), US 2,762,777 (1956), Example 26. They sintered rods; discs and the magnetising are ours. Picture: ferrite magnets, Omegatron, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0.

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.
