Ceramic magnets are primarily manufactured by sintering process of barium or strontium ferrite. Some of the common available grades are Ceramic 1, 5 and 8.
Ceramic 1 is not oriented in the sintering process while ceramic 5 and 8 are highly oriented and must be magnetized in the direction of orientation.

Due to their high degree of orientation during manufacturing ceramic magnets are highly resistable to demagnetization. Ceramic 8 has a even higher resistance than ceramic 5 to demagnetization.

Due to their low cost they are used in various applications such as motors, novelty, holding applications, reed switches and hall effect devices.

They come in the form of discs, small rectangles, blocks, arc segments and in custom shapes. They can be provided in a painted finish or with a polarity marking.

Ceramic magnets are extremely hard
and brittle and should be machined in
the unmagnetized state.
