Micro scrapping is so great!!❤❤ it's a vastly underrated pass time 🥰 And there's an easier way to get that bottom plate off the magnetron. Grip the plate on the edge (just next to the folded tab) with pliers, grips, or even a small Cresent wrench, and pry/bend away from the fold; repeat on the other side if needed. Be careful, it tends to pop or release quickly😁

The pink stuff is probably alumina with added CrO2. I have some beryllia tubes that are plain white, and I've seen magnetrons in all different colors. You probably don't want to breathe any powdered ceramic dust, but you're right, beryllia is the bad one. Just breaking it into pieces isn't really hazardous but if you're going to grind on it, try to do it under water or mineral oil to prevent dust.

I have never taken the magnetron apart like that. I will have to try it because it's probably easier on my shoulder than the way I do it. Very nice breakdowns and also the solenoid cutting is a nice tip.
