This paper proposes to assess the sintering of Ni-Zn ferrites synthesized by combustion reaction in advance to procure materials for applications as soft magnetic devices. The samples used for sintering have different morphological characteristics and were previously synthesized by microwave energy. The samples were uniaxially pressed and sintered in a microwave oven at 1200°C/2h with a heating rate of 5°C/min, and characterized by XRD, SEM and magnetic measurements. The results show that for all samples have the formation of Ni-Zn phase and traces hematite as secondary phase. The resulting microstructure after sintering was different and was influenced by previous morphological characteristics of the synthesized samples. As for the magnetic parameters, all samples were characteristic of soft magnetic material with saturation magnetization between 57 and 62 emu.g~(-1), indicating are promising materials for the fabrication of soft magnetic devices.
