Abstract
We have investigated the formation of barium hexaferrite via the coprecipitation method. Various reagent salts and solvents were tested, and the coprecipitates were calcined at 300–800 °C for 1–50 h. The samples were characterized with X-ray powder diffraction, electron microscopy and magnetometry. The coprecipitation conditions had a significant influence on the formation time of the barium hexaferrite, which started to form at as low as 500 °C. The optimum coprecipitation conditions were: ethanol as a solvent and chlorides as reagent salts. Powders with optimum magnetic properties, saturation magnetization 60–63 emu/g and coercivity 4–5 kOe, were obtained by calcining at 600–700 °C.
