Magnetic recording medium and process for the preparation of the same

摘要

A magnetic recording medium comprising a nonmagnetic support, a first magnetic recording layer and a second magnetic recording layer, superposed in order, wherein: a coercive force of the second magnetic recording layer is in the range of 400 to 2,000 Oe, a ratio of said coercive force to a coercive force of the first magnetic recording layer being in the range of 1.0 to 2.5; a mean longitudinal length of a magnetic powder contained in the second magnetic recording layer is not longer than 0.35 mu m, a ratio of said mean longitudinal length to a mean longitudinal length of a magnetic powder contained in the first magnetic recording layer being in the range of 0.4 to 1.0; and a mixed area of compositions of the first magnetic recording layer and the second magnetic recording layer which has a thickness of 0.1 to 1.1 mu m is provided between the first and second magnetic recording layers.
