Different Stages of Phase Transformation in the Synthesis of Nanocrystalline Sr-Hexaferrite Powder Prepared by a Gaseous Heat Treatment and Re-Calcination Method

• In this paper, the phase transformation in a gaseous heat treatment and re-calcination (GTR) process for preparing nanocrystalline Sr-hexaferrite powder using methane (CH4) was studied. The process included gaseous heat treatment and subsequent re-calcination. Phase composition of the powder and its physical properties were changed significantly owing to formation of different intermediate phases. Sr-hexaferrite powder was prepared by the conventional route as the precursor. The results were represented in a phase transformation map that showed the intermediate phases and clarified the transformation path during the process. As evidenced by the map, the process had four general stages: decomposition of hexaferrite, reduction of iron oxides to pure iron, re-oxidation of iron, and re-formation of hexaferrite with different properties and structure.
