The phase relations in the Fe-rich part of the pseudo-binary system SrO-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} (>33 mol% Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}) were reinvestigated between 800 and 1500 deg. C in air. A combination of microscopy, electron probe micro-analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis was used to determine phase relations, crystal structure parameters and phase transition temperatures. M-type hexagonal ferrite SrFe{sub 12}O{sub 19} (85.71 mol% Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}) is stable up to 1410 deg. C. No indication of a significant phase width was found; Sr{sub 4}Fe{sub 6}O{sub 13+}-{sub {delta}} appears as a second phase in compositions with <85.71+-0.2 mol% Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}. Sr{sub 4}Fe{sub 6}O{sub 13+}-{sub {delta}} itself is stable between 800 and 1250 deg. C. Two other hexagonal ferrites were found to exist at high temperatures only: W-type SrFe{sup 2+}{sub 2}Fe{sup 3+}{sub 16}O{sub 27} is stable between 1350 and 1440 deg. C and X-type ferrite Sr{sub 2}Fe{sup 2+}{sub 2}Fe{sup 3+}{sub 28}O{sub 46} between 1350 and 1420 deg. C, respectively, which is shown here for the first time. These findings in combination with previously published data were used to derive a corrected phase diagram of the Fe-rich part of the pseudo-binary system SrO-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}. - Abstract: Part of the SrO-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} phase diagram in air
