The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the addition of 2 % SrO on physical, magnetic properties and crystal structure of BaO6Fe2O3. In this study, the coprecipitation method was used with raw materials BaCl2, FeCl3 and SrCl3 and Ba-ferrite composition is used based on the ratio of mole BaO: Fe2O3 = 1: 6, while SrO is used 2% of the weight of Ba-ferrite. The raw materials are dissolved in distilled water, then added a solution (50%) of ammonia to form a perfect precipitate. The precipitate after filtering was dried in an oven at 100°C until dry, then crushed with mortar and partially taken for analysis with DTA / TG. The fine powder was calcined at 800 ° C and held for one hour using an electric furnace. The calcined samples were crushed with mortar and fine powder was added 1% wt.of PVA adhesive and formed with a pressure of 40 MPa to obtaine a pellet sample. The pellet samples were then sintered at 1150°C and hold for 1 hour. Furthermore, the sintered samples were characterized such as measurement of bulk density, magnetic properties with gauss meters and VSM and measurements with XRD. The results of characterization show that the addition of additives 2% of SrO can provide an increase in physical properties and magnetic properties (remanence). But for the crystal structure of XRD analysis there is no change, a single phase is formed, namely BaFe12O19.
