Ferrous ion was transformed into feroxyhyte (δ-FeOOH) by oxidation. Then, manganese sulfate and zinc sulfate in some ratio were added to the feroxyhyte solution. The co-precipitation was boiling reflux conditions sometime under constant stirring. The nanosize MnZn ferrite powder was formed. The mechanism of preparation of the nanosize MnZn ferrite was discussed, and the formation of feroxyhyte which was playing a key role during the process was mentioned. The properties of powder was tested by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results show that the samples of spherical particles about 20 nm, which have characteristics of ferrimagnetism, has larger saturation magnetization, but the remanent magnetization and coercivity are comparatively smaller. The spinel MnZn ferrite nanosize powder was successfully prepared from δ-FeOOH at low temperature, with low-carbon steel and peroxide as main material.

Nanostructured materials, characterized by an ultrafine grain size, have stimulated much research interest by virtue of their unusual mechanical, electrical, optical, and magnetic properties. In this paper, the sintering process of nano-powders were reviewed, to which sintering of the traditional materials compared. The microstructural development, i.e., grain growth and densification during sintering as well as the mechanism of crystal surface diffusion and boundary migration were analyzed, and the dynamic models on sintering process were summarized by the relationship of grain growth and pores size, interface diffusion, densification rate, and sintering temperature. Finally, the research tendency of this major on the basis of above models was discussed.

The effect of sintering process (especially the sintering temperature) on the magnetic property and microstructure of sintered sample of nanosized soft magnetic MnZn ferrite powder was investigated. The sintered sample of MnZn ferrite was prepared by both traditional pressing and cool isostatic pressing on MnZn ferrite nanoparticals. The sintering process of which was segmented. The density, microstructure and phase composition of sintered sample were analyzed by Archimedes′law, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The grain growth and densification in sintering process of MnZn ferrite were investigated. The magnetic property was measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and Nim2000 magnetic material testing system. The results show that the better sintering temperature is 850 ℃, at which the better magnetic property and microstructure of sintered compact were obtained.
