Unless the ferrite material is porous such that water can penetrate the
surface, I don't understand their disintegration. I thought they were
essentially like glass. If they aren't, and if water can penetrate the surface,
then freeze/thaw cycles will certainly damage them.

## Are they hygroscopic ..or not ? Put a single core into a dish or tub of
water overnight...at room temp. Take a 2nd core..and toss it into your deep
freezer section. See what happens the next day. Take the 1st core and toss it
into
the deep freeze, see if it cracks the following day.
