The core includes iron powder, iron titanium powder, silico-manganese powder, iron silicon powder, iron sulfide, graphite, rare earth compound, and a frit. The frit includes a Group I or Group II compound, silicon dioxide, and titanium dioxide. The graphite and the frit together comprise less than 10% of the core by weight.
