Abstract
Abstract A magnetic material for magnetic recording media, comprising acicular particles of a conventional magnetic material and a ferrite powder amounting to about 0.5-20 Wt% of the acicular particles. Preferably the ferrite powder has a roundish particle shape. The use of this magnetic material in the form of a dispersion of the acicular magnetic particles and the ferrite particles in a usual binder makes it possible to afford improved rectangular ratio to the recording media by a conventional orientation process.
