1. A method for manufacturing a multiphase ferrite composition, comprising combining
MnZn ferrite particles,
0.01 to 10 weight percent microscaled inclusion particles comprising an orthoferrite RFeO3 wherein R is a rare earth ion, and
optionally 0.01 to 5 weight percent additive
to form a ferrite mixture,
wherein weight percent is based on the total weight of the ferrite mixture,
wherein the microscaled inclusion particles have an average particle size (D50) of 0.1 micron to 5 microns, and
wherein the D50 of the microscaled inclusion particles is smaller than the D50 of the MnZn ferrite particles;
granulating a slurry comprising the ferrite mixture and a binder solution to obtain granules of 50 to 750 microns;
compressing the granules to form a green body; and
sintering the green body in 0.01 to 20% oxygen to form a multiphase ferrite composition.
