Popis: In this study, nickel and Ba-hexaferrite powders were subjected to high energy mechanical milling in argon atmosphere to produce nickel/Ba-hexaferrite magnetic nanocomposite. Effects of milling time and Ni amount on the phase evolution, morphology and magnetic properties of the products have been investigated by XRD, FESEM/SEM and VSM, respectively. XRD analysis of nanocomposite indicated only Ni peaks after 5 h milling which implied the embedding of Ba-hexaferrite particles inside the metallic nickel. FESEM results revealed that the increasing of the milling time up to 30 h reduced nanocomposite particles size into 20 nm. VSM results showed that the magnetic properties of the nickel/Ba-hexaferrite nanocomposite were affected by the process conditions. The highest saturation magnetization (33.8emu/g) was obtained for the sample containing 30 wt% Ni milled for 20 h Ni series of powder mixture. In addition, it was found that by increasing the milling time coercive field decreases.
