Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and methods for magnetically orienting ferrites in an inductive power transfer system. In one example embodiment, a method for forming a ferrite element having oriented magnetic dipoles includes heating a ferrite element to a first temperature, the ferrite element comprising a non-magnetic matrix having magnetic particulates suspended therein, and, while heating, applying an external magnetic field to the ferrite element to align magnetic dipoles of the particulates with the direction of the magnetic field.
