Abstract
The development of texture in barium hexaferrite by templated grain growth was studied as a function of the Fe2O3/BaCO3 ratio, B2O3 additions in the starting materials, and sintering temperature. A magnetic field was used to orient the template particles during the gelcasting process. Excess BaCO3 resulted in abnormal grain growth and maximized texture, while B2O3 additions promoted coarsening, but no abnormal grain growth.
