Production of ferrites

Claim 1

THE PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A MAGNETIC FERRITE BY MELTING THE METAL OXIDES WHICH FROM THE FERRITE, WHICH COMPRISES EMBEDDING A METALLIC CONDUCTOR IN A PULVERULENT MIXTURE OF THE METAL OXIDES WHICH FORM THE FERRITE SAID MIXTURE BEING MAINTAINED IN A BED SITUATED IN A CONTAINER AND WHICH BED COMPRISES A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF THE FERRITE BEING PRODUCED AND SAID METAL OXIDES MIXTURE, WHEREBY THE RESULTING MELT DOES NOT CONTACT THE CONTAINER WALL, SAID CONDUCTOR BEING FORMED OF ONE OF THE METALS PRESENT IN SAID OXIDES PASSING AN ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH SAID CONDUCTOR AND THEREBY RESISTANCE HEATING THE CONDUCTOR WHICH HEATS SAID OXIDES MIXTURE TO A TEMPERATURE OF SUBSTANTIAL CONDUCTIVITY OF THE LATTER, PASSING THE ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH SAID HEATED OXIDES ACTING AS A CONDUCTOR AND THEREBY RESISTANCE HEATING THE OXIDES TO THE MELTING TEMPERATURE, REMOVING THE MELT FROM SAID CONTAINER, AND RAPIDLY COOLING SAID MELT.
