Solution Overview

Problem

M-type ferrite sintered magnets face a trade-off between increasing coercivity and residual magnetic flux density, where enhancing coercivity often results in a significant decrease in residual magnetic flux density.

Innovation Solution

A ferrite sintered magnet with magnetoplumbite type ferrite crystal grains and a two-grain boundary containing Ca and La, with a Ca/La atomic ratio of 0.3 to 3.0, and optionally Si, to balance coercivity and residual magnetic flux density.
