The Effect of Milling Time on Physical Properties, Magnetic Properties and Microstructure of Bonded Magnet BaFe₁₂O₁₉

Abstract

A bonded permanent magnet of Barium hexa Ferrite has been made using powder BaFe12O19 (commercial ferrite) and a polymer of bakelite powder as binder. The composition of bakelite was varried 5% wt. The preparation of sample was begun with mass weighing for each material, then mixed together using ball mill for 1, 6 and 12 hours and using aquades as milling media. The mixed powder is dried in an oven at 110 °C for 4 hours, then the particle size distribution was measured. After that, the dried sample powder was pressed to form a pellet at pressure 40 MPa and temperature about 160 °C for 20 minutes. The characterization of sample pellet was done such as measurement of bulk density, hardness , magnetic properties using VSM and anylisis of microstructure using SEM. The results of the characterization show that the density and magnetic properties tend to increase with increasing of milling time, where the highest density, hardness and highest magnetic properties are achieved at sample with milling time for 12 hours. The value of magnetic properties at this condition are flux magnetic of 530 Gauss, remenance of 3100 Gauss, coercivity of 1,10 kOe.

THE EFFECT OF BAKELITE BINDERS ON MAGNETIC PROPERTIES AND HARDNESS VALUES OF MQP-TYPE BONDED NdFeB MAGNETS

“…Several factors that can affect the magnetic properties of bonded magnets are grain size, compaction pressure, and temperature [15]. According to research by A. Ritawanti et al, the larger the grain size, the stronger the magnetic properties.…”
