The effects of ball-milling time on solid state reactions in the system BaCO3-Fe2O3 and the magnetic properties of Ba-ferrite (BaFe12O19) have been studied. BaCO3-Fe2O3 mixtures were prepared by ball-milling for varying lengths of time; 5, 15, 30, 80 and 200 hours. Techniques employed were thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and B-H curve tracer. It is shown that the aggregation states and superparamagnetic size fractions obtained by increasing ball-milling time have remarkable effects on solid state reactions and magnetic properties of Ba-ferrite.
