ABSTRACT
This paper presents to obtain a lead and copper ferrite with spinel structure, characterizing the microstructure and the determination of their magnetic properties. The copper and lead ferrite is a material with low magnetic coercivity, high electrical resistivity. Samples with stoichiometry PbxCu1-xFe2O4 with (x = 0.00; 0.05; 0.10; 0.15 e 0.20) were prepared by powder metallurgy processes and sintered at 1000 °C for 6 hours. The results show that sample with x = 0.00 is formed exclusively by the cubic spinel structure and samples with x between 0.05 to 0.20 are formed exclusively by the tetragonal spinel structure hysteresis loops show the characteristics of a soft magnetic material and the saturation magnetization and Curie temperature decreased with the lead concentration, however, noted that the increase in the coercive field.
