A core that is used in an axial-gap rotary electric machine and that includes a body, and frame-shaped flange portions. The body includes an annular yoke and columnar teeth that are arranged in a circumferential direction of the yoke. The flange portions are fixed to end portions of the respective teeth. The yoke and the teeth are composed of a single powder compact. Each of the flange portions is composed of a powder compact that has a through-hole. The end portion of each of the teeth is inserted in the through-hole, and an end surface of each of the teeth is exposed from the through-hole. A ratio of an area of the end surface of each of the teeth to an area within an outer circumferential edge of each of the flange portions is 7.5% or more in a plan view in an axial direction of the yoke.
