Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a spherical electrophotographic ferrite carrier having long life and high electric resistance and forming an image superior in sharpness etc. by heat-treating a ferrite contg. Fe2O3 as an essential component and Li2O and NiO in a specified molar ratio. CONSTITUTION:Starting materials are weighed and mixed to obtain a ferrite composed of 5-30mol% Li2O, 5-30mol% NiO, and 50-90mol% Fe2O3, or a ferrite having a part of this compsn. substd. by a monovalent or higher valent metal, such as CoO. This powder mixture is calcined, pulverized, granulated, burned at 1,100-1,400 deg.C, and finally heat treated at about 700 deg.C for about 2hr in a nitrogen atm. to obtain the intended electrophotographic ferrite carrier. The obtained ferrite carrier has 10<2>-10<13>OMEGA-cm resistivity, >=10emu/g saturation magnetization, >=10mu magnetic permeability, >=100 deg.C Curie. temp., and >=1,000g/ cm<2> particle strength.

There is an old method called magnetic brush development, but the characteristics required for the carrier are appropriate triboelectric charging properties, the ability to attract I.ner particles, dense particles with sufficient strength, and the characteristics required for the carrier. The particles must not cause breakage, have high fluidity, be uniform, have a stable surface condition that does not change various properties due to humidity, etc., have tensile and compressive strength, and have appropriate It has saturation magnetization, magnetic permeability, or coercive force. In particular, electrical resistance is closely related to triboelectric charging and is known to have a large effect on image quality.
