1. A process for producing ferrite particles for bonded magnets comprising:
blending and mixing raw material particles at a predetermined mixing ratio to provide mixed raw material particles;
molding the mixed raw material particles by compressing and granulating the mixed raw material particles to provide a molded product, wherein the molding is conducted using a roller compactor;
calcining the molded product at a temperature of 900 to 1250° C. in atmospheric air to provide calcined particles;
subjecting the calcined particles to a pulverization step and washing with water; and then
subjecting the resulting particles to annealing heat treatment at a temperature of 700 to 1100° C. in atmospheric air thereby providing the ferrite particles;
wherein the ferrite particles have a crystallite size of not less than 500 nm as measured in an oriented state by XRD, and an average particle diameter of not less than 1.30 μm as measured by Fisher method.
