Reactive sintering of zinc ferrite

Abstract

The reactive sintering of zinc ferrite, i.e. firing without previously calcining, has been studied using three types of iron oxide. The conversion into ferrite as well as the simultaneous densification were investigated upon variations in morphology and impurity content. The formation reaction is shown to be accompanied by a strong increase of the median pore size. This phenomenon appears responsible for the generally smaller density of the final material as compared with single-phase sintering. It is shown that reactive sintering is inevitably accompanied by expansion, irrespective of molecular volume variations. A calcining step appears indispensable for the preparation of the highest quality of ferrites.
