Abstract: The conventional ceramic route was utilized to
prepare a hard magnetic powder (M-type strontium ferrite,
SrFe12O19). The stoichiometric mixture of iron oxide and strontium
carbonate were calcined at 1000oC and then fired at various
temperatures. The influence of various reaction parameters such as
mixing ratio, calcination temperature, firing temperature and firing
time on the magnetic behaviors of the synthesized magnetic powder
were investigated. The magnetic properties including Coercivity
(Hc), Magnetic saturation (Ms), and Magnetic remnance (Mr) were
measured by vibrating sample magnetometer. Morphologically the
produced magnetic powder has a dense hexagonal grain shape
structure.
Abstract: In this paper, strontium ferrite (SrO.6Fe2O3) was
synthesized by the sol-gel auto-combustion process. The thermal
behavior of powder obtained from self-propagating combustion of
initial gel was evaluated by simultaneous differential thermal analysis
(DTA) and thermo gravimetric (TG), from room temperature to
1200°C. The as-burnt powder was calcined at various temperatures
from 700-900°C to achieve the single-phase Sr-ferrite. Phase
composition, morphology and magnetic properties were investigated
using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy
(TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) techniques.
Results showed that the single-phase and nano-sized hexagonal
strontium ferrite particles were formed at calcination temperature of
800°C with crystallite size of 27 nm and coercivity of 6238 Oe.
Abstract: Strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19; Sr-ferrite) is one of
the well-known materials for permanent magnets. In this study, Mtype
strontium ferrite was prepared by following the conventional
ceramic method from steelmaking by-product. Initial materials;
SrCO3 and by-product, were mixed together in the composition of
SrFe12O19 in different Sr/Fe ratios. The mixtures of these raw
materials were dry-milled for 6h. The blended powder was presintered
(i.e. calcination) at 1000°C for different times periods, then
cooled down to room temperature. These pre-sintered samples were
re-milled in a dry atmosphere for 1h and then fired at different
temperatures in atmospheric conditions, and cooled down to room
temperature. The produced magnetic powder has a dense hexagonal
grain shape structure. The calculated energy product values for the
produced samples ranged from 0.3 to 2.4 MGOe.
