The invention discloses a ferrite material for a heat-sensitive sensor. The ferrite material mainly contains the ingredients in percentage by weight: 16-25% of ZnO, 5-8% of MgO, 3-7% of CuO, 1-3% of NiO, 0.008-0.01% of Al2O3, 0.008-0.02% of Nb2O5, 0.003-0.01% of Bi2O3 and the balance of Fe2O3. The ferrite material for the heat-sensitive sensor is prepared mainly through the steps of weighing and mixing, carrying out vibrated-grinding, pelletizing, prefiring, sanding, carrying out spraying granulation and the like. By adopting the ingredients and the preparation method, the crystal grain of the ferrite material for the heat-sensitive sensor can be fine and uniform, the initial magnetic permeability can be improved, the sintering temperature can be lowered, the magnetic core sintered density can be improved, and the range of Curie temperature can be narrowed; the volatilization of zinc oxide can be inhibited, the specific temperature coefficient is increased, the maximum slope of magnetic permeability temperature change is high, and the temperature control accuracy is high; due to vibrated-grinding, large granules and agglomerated powdery materials in mixed powder can be crushed, so that the gluing and mixing are uniform.
