Ferrite sintered magnet

Abstract

The present invention provides a ferrite sintered magnet comprising (1) main phase grains containing a ferrite having a hexagonal structure, (2) two-grain boundaries formed between two of the main phase grains, and (3) multi-grain boundaries surrounded by three or more of the main phase grains. The above ferrite sintered magnet comprises Ca, R, Sr, Fe and Co, with R being at least one element selected from the group consisting of rare earth elements and Bi, and comprising at least La. The number Nm of the above main phase grains and the number Ng of the above multi-grain boundaries in the cross section including the direction of the easy magnetization axis of the above ferrite sintered magnet satisfy the formula (1A): 50%≤Nm/(Nm+Ng)≤65%  (1A).
