Barium ferrite ferrite has better packing properties. BaFe can be reduced to a smaller size and higher packing density because of its circular structure and can be stacked better. Barium ferrite Barium ferrite, abbreviated BaFe, BaM, is the chemical compound with the formula BaFeO. This and related ferrite materials are components in magnetic stripe cards and loudspeaker magnets. BaFe is described as Ba(Fe)(O). The Fe centers are ferromagnetically coupled. This area of technology is usually considered to be an application of the related fields of materials science and solid state chemistry. Barium ferrite is a highly magnetic material, has a high packing
Pewter Pewter Pewter () is a malleable metal alloy. It is traditionally composed of 85–99% tin, mixed with copper, antimony, bismuth, and sometimes silver or lead, although the use of lead is less common today. Copper and antimony act as hardeners while lead is more common in the lower grades of pewter, which have a bluish tint. Pewter has a low melting point, around , depending on the exact mixture of metals. The word "pewter" is probably a variation of the word "spelter", a term for zinc alloys (originally a colloquial name for zinc). Pewter was first used around the beginning
