Electron microscopic studies of sintered hexagonal ferrites have revealed growth structures which indicate that crystal growth from a relatively highly saturated vapor phase occurs above certain temperatures during the sintering process. Illustrations of variations in the growth structures at various locations in the ferrite are given, and the probable importance of the vapor‐phase growth mechanism in the over‐all sintering process is discussed.
