Abstract
Effects of Bi2O3 addition on the microstructural development and magnetic properties of NiCuZn ferrites were studied. For low temperature sintering (<900 °C), 0.1–1.0 wt % of Bi2O3 was added to the NiCuZn ferrites. The grain size and bulk density gradually increased with the increase in the Bi2O3 content. Above 0.5 wt % Bi2O3, abnormal grain growth was observed. The specimen with 0.25 wt % Bi2O3 showed the highest initial permeability with good quality factors and a uniform microstructure. However, the specimen with greater than 0.5 wt % Bi2O3 demonstrated abnormal grain growth with lower initial permeabilities and poor quality factors.
