Abstract A magnetic powder is produced by mixing an aqueous solution of a metal salt with an aqueous solution of a reducing agent such as sodium boron hydride in a magnetic field to reduce said metal salt to continuously form a magnetic powder and heat-treating said magnetic powder in a non-oxidative atmosphere. The aqueous solution of a metal salt is mixed with said aqueous solution of a reducing agent in a magnetic field to continuously discharge a reaction mixture containing a magnetic powder having pH of 2.5 or lower from a reactor and said reaction mixture containing said magnetic powder is immediately continuously washed and filtered and said magnetic powder is heat-treated in said non-oxidative atmosphere.
In a process for producing a metallic magnetic powder of decreased boron content by mixing an aqueous solution of a metal salt with an aqueous solution of a reducing agent comprising sodium boron hydride in a magnetic field to reduce said metal salt to continuously form a metallic magnetic powder and heat-treating said metallic magnetic powder in a non-oxidative atmosphere, the improvement characterized in that said aqueous solution of a metal salt is mixed with said aqueous solution of fluid reducing agent in a magnetic field to continuously discharge a reaction mixture containing a metallic magnetic powder having a pH of 2.5 or lower, and said reaction mixture containing said metallic magnetic powder is immediately continuously washed and filtered and said metallic magnetic powder is heat-treated in said non-oxidative atmosphere.
