Magnetischer Aufzeichnungsträger.

摘要

A magnetic recording medium is disclosed. The magnetic recording medium is capable of high density recording; has excellent electromagnetic conversion properties including S/N ratio; whose magnetic powder has good dispersibility and good corrosion resistance; and that has good durability. The magnetic recording medium has a magnetic layer comprising a binder and magnetic metal powder dispersed in the binder. The powder has a specific surface area of not less than 45 m<2>/g, and comprises not less than 90 atomic % of iron atoms, not less than 0.1 atomic % to less than 5 atomic % of aluminum atoms and not less than 0.1 atomic % to less than 10 atomic % of nickel atoms and the aluminum atoms present in the superficial portion of individual particles of the powder are bound with oxygen atoms.
