Abstract

Powder mixture of magnetite (Fe 3O 4) and elemental zinc (Zn) was high energy ball milled looking forward to synthesize a composite material able to enhance magnetic coercivity ( H c). Results revealed up to 449.1 Oe for powder mixture treated for 540 min milling. Specific saturation magnetization ( σ s) of 50.35 and 43.7 emu/g was respectively reached in samples ball milled for 300 and 540 min. Moreover, specific remanent magnetization ( σ r) of 3.976 and 9.507 emu/g was respectively obtained for samples ball milled for 60 and 540 min. It is speculated that the degree of magnetization developed on studied samples might be influenced from the metallic-contamination derived from milling wear media such as Fe, Cr and Ni (stainless steel). The Zn–ferrite powder mixture processing and its preliminary magnetization results are discussed.
