               In this study, Mn-Zn  ferrites of  chemical composition Mn.725Zn.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.
