Longitudinal magnetic coated recording medium

摘要

A longitudinal magnetic coated recording medium comprises at least plane magnetic particles each having an easy magnetization axis perpendicular to the major surface thereof, preferably mixed with other particles, and dispersed in a magnetic film formed on a nonmagnetic substrate, having a orientation angle of -30 DEG to +30 DEG . A process for producing such a recording medium comprises the step of orienting the plane magnetic particles by applying at least a magnetic field approximately in parallel to the surface of the magnetic film.
