In this study, Mn-Zn ferrites of chemical composition Mn.725 Zn.194CoxTiyFe2.081-x-yO4 were fabricated with part of the Fe2 O3 raw material been substituted with Co3O4 and TiO2. We studied the effect of Cobalt, Titanium and sintering temperature for lowering the power loss of Mn-Zn ferrites. The initial permeability vs. temperature, power loss vs. temperature, lattice constant, resistivity vs. frequency, and microstructure were examined. The shift of extrapolated secondary maximum permeability (ESMP) were used to show the variation of the Fe+2 content. As the contents of Co or Ti is increased, the Fe+2 content is decreased or increased respectively. It is found that the hysteresis loss can be reduced by Co at low temperature. While both the hysteresis loss and eddy current loss can be reduced by Ti. The optimum sintering temperatures for Co and Ti substitution are 1325 and 1300 respectively. The properties of Co/Ti substituted Mn-Zn ferrites are inferior. Apparently, it was due to the lower sintered density.
