Abstract

This invention provides a magnetic head constituted by a magnetic core having a winding wound thereon, the magnetic core being a ferrite body composed of crystallites which have (111)-crystallographic planes thereof oriented substantially parallel with each other. The ferrite body is a dense polycrystalline and has much improved wear characteristics. The method of manufacturing the polycrystalline ferrite body includes the steps of mixing starting materials which include an .alpha.-Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 powder with particles having a thin disc shape and other compounds in the weight ratio of given ferrite composition, cold-pressing the mixture into a cold-pressed body by a uniaxial pressure and sintering the cold-pressed body into a solid body so that the crystallites of the sintered body have the (111) 111)-planes substantially oriented.
