Efek Penambahan Fe3Mn7 Terhadap Sifat Fisis dan Mekanik α-Fe2O3

Abstrak: Preparasi dan karakterisasi pellet α-Fe2O3 dengan penambahan 0, 2, 5 dan 10 %wt. Fe3Mn7 berbasis pada materialalam telah berhasil dilakukan. Proses pencampuran serbuk α-Fe2O3 dan Fe3Mn7 dilakukan dengan menggunakan HEM. ºKemudian campuran serbuk dikasinasi pada suhu 1000C, dikompaksi pada 69 Pa hingga menjadi pellet dan disinter padasuhu 1000 ºC. Karakterisasi XRD menunjukkan adanya fasa dominan α-Fe2O3 dan fasa baru MnO2 dan Fe3O4. Densitas dankekerasan sampel meningkat secara linier seiring dengan kenaikan komposisi Fe3Mn7 yang ditambahkan. Sampel optimum3diperoleh pada sampel α-Fe2O3/10 %wt. Fe3Mn7 dengan nilai bulk density dan kekerasan masing-masing 4,98 g/cm and994,94 HV. Sampel ini termasuk dalam klasifikasi hard magnet dengan nilai magnetisasi saturasi, remanen dan koersivitasmasing-masing sebesar 24,0 emu/g, 10,3 emu/g dan 571,8 Oe.Kata kunci:. α-Fe2O3, Fe3Mn7, densitas, kekerasan, sifat magnetikAbstract: Preparation and characterization of α-Fe2O3 pellet with the addition of 0, 2, 5 and 10 %wt. Fe3Mn7 based on naturalmaterials have been successfully carried out. The process of mixing powder of α-Fe2O3 and Fe3Mn7 was performed usingºHEM. Then, the mix powders were calcined at temperature of 1000 C. After that, the powders were compacted at 69 Pa intopellet and sintered at temperature of 1000ºC. Characterization of XRD shows that the samples have major phase of α-Fe2O3and new phases of MnO2 and Fe3O4. The density and hardness samples increase linearly with increasing of Fe3Mn73composition. The optimum sample with α-Fe2O3/10 %wt. Fe3Mn7 has bulk density and hardness value of 4.98 g/cm and 994.94HV respectively. This sample is classified as semi-hard magnet with magnetization saturation, remanence and coercivity valueof 24.0 emu/g, 10.3 emu/g dan 571.8 Oe respectively.Keywords: α-Fe2O3, Fe3Mn7, density, hardness, magnetic properties
