Hello all,
I am a master's student of Fine Art in The Netherlands. I would like to experiment with making ceramic ferrite magnets. I am working in the ceramics department, through which we can order the compounds (some of which are already there), and we have an oven that goes to the appropriate temperature. I understand the basic process but I cannot find a formula stating what percent of each component must be added and in what steps.
simplified process:
SrCO3 + Fe2O3 > SrOFe2O3 + CO2
SrOFe2O3 + 5Fe2O3 > SrO.6(Fe2O3)
or
BaCO3 + Fe2O3 > BaOFe2O3 + CO2
BaOFe2O3 + 5Fe2O3 > BaO.6(Fe2O3)
If anyone can steer me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
