Abstract
The family of nickel-zinc nanoferrites with general formula NixZn1 – xFe2O4 for 3D printing were synthesized via pyrochemical urea-nitrate method and annealed at temperatures of up to 770 K. The ferrite powder microstructure was studied by SEM and XRD methods. Average nanocrystallite sizes of 21 to 32 nm and average nanoparticles sizes of 22 to 50 nm were determined. The DC electrical conductivity of NixZn1 – xFe2O4 clearly shows the change in conduction behavior of samples with increase in nickel content. The observed low electrical conductivity with values at 0.l-0.3 and 0.8-0.9 parts of nickel ion for NixZn1 – xFe2O4 is due to change in cation distribution in spinel structure. The microwave absorbing properties of ferrites at 9.15 GHz were analyzed by FMR and maximum microwave absorption is that of compositions NixZn1 – xFe2O4 with x = 0.15 – 0.30. Additive manufacturing FDM 3D-printing process with PLA-nanoferrite filament for fabricating magnetic components also was demonstrated.
