Ferrite (Ceramic) is a material made by mixing large proportions of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃)  blended with smaller proportions of other metal elements such as Barium, strontium. They are charcoal grey in colour and usually appear in the forms of arc, discs, rings, blocks, cylinders, and arcs or segments shapes used mainly for small electric motors.
Sintered Ferrite provides the most cost effective magnet solution if your magnetic application does not need the power of Rare Earth Magnets (Ferrite is roughly a tenth of the strength of NdFeB)

Developed in the 1950’s Ferrite allowed stable, corrosion free thin magnets to be offered for the first time up to working temperatures of 250ºC and is widely used in applications such as Filters, Tranducers, Seperators and Holding devices . Isotropic Grades (Y8T C1) even allow multiple poles to be put around the circumference of a ring for motor and sensing applications (in conjunction with Reed and Hall effect devices). Ferrite arcs are widely used in cheap motors that serve the automative industry, in applications such as alternators and starter motors.
