Mn-Zn ferrite powders prepared by an alcoholic dehydration method. Vacuum casting, a kind of wet forming process was examined with this powders. As binders, polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl alcohol were used. In order to estimate this conditions, fracture morphology, densities of green and sintered bodies and the microstructure were observed. High density and homogeneous microstructure in sintered bodies were obtained in the case of 0.1 wt% PEG or 0.5 wt% PVA.

Mn-Zn ferrite powders were prepared by alcoholic dehydration, using coprecipitation method. Then the effects of organic dispersant and polymeric binder concentration on stability and casting of slurry were discussed. Citric acid, the organic dispersant and polyvinylacohol(PVA), the non-ionic binder, were selected as additives of slurry. With variation of concentration of water, citric acid and polyvinylalcohol(PVA), optimum forming conditions were determined from viscosity and density. To compare with dry process, density and microstructure of sintered body formed by uniaxial die pressing were observed.

Fine powders of Mn-Zn ferrite were prepared by the alcoholic dehydration method and densification beha-vior of synthesized powder was investigated. The concentration and pH of solution for optimal precipitation was 0.4M and 2.5 respectively. The spinel single phase metastable state was formed by thermal decom-position of precipitate and then spinel phase was disintegrated into hematite and spinel {{{{ { { ZnFe}_{2 }O }_{4 } }} at 600$^{\circ}C$ With increase of temperature reaction of solid solution between hematite and spinel was proceeded and resulted in the spinel single phase (Mn, Zn Fe){{{{ { {Fe }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} On account of high reactivity of uncalcined powders densification started at 200$^{\circ}C$ lower and completed at 50$^{\circ}C$ lower in comparison with calcined powders.

In the preparation of manganese zinc ferrite powders by alcoholic dehydration of citrate/formate solution. The effect of pH change on precipitation was investigated. The pH range for obtaining stable precipitates was studied. The glassy phase was obtained when the pH value of solution is higher than 5, and the formation mechanism of glassy phase was suggested. Below pH 5, the stable precipitates were formed, and the optimal pH was 2. Formation of glassy phase was accounted for the change of surface charge by pH change. The change of surface charge is caused by the interparticular agglomeration. The precipitate was redissolved into the water on the surface of precipitate itself and through the polymerization, it agglomerated. This mechanism is tought to be similar to that of viscous flow.

Effect of ultrasonic-wave irradiation on the Mn-Zn ferrite powder suspension prepared by solid-state reaction and alcoholic dehydration methods was investigated. Size distribution and morphology of the powders prepared at different temperature were examined as a function of irradiation time. It was observed that the powders were reduced in size by ultrasonic energy through distinct routes.

To study the effect of aggregates on the microstructure of sintered bodies, Mn-Zn ferrite powders were prepared by an alcoholic dehydration method. Aggregate powders and reground powders were used as seeds and matrices, respectively. The mixing ratios for the aggregate and reground powders were varied with the sintering temperatures. Green densities were measured with changes in forming pressure and they were related to the microstructures of the sintered bodies. The aggregates proved to be capable of acting as seeds for abnormal grain growth. When the green density difference between the aggregate and the matrix was large, the aggregate could become the seed of abnormal grain growth. As the forming pressure increased, the more aggregates became seeds of abnormal grain growth.
