Production of a magnetic powder having a high dispersibility

摘要

A hexagonal ferrite magnetic powder for high density magnetic recording, having an improved dispersibility in a binder or paint is obtained by melting a mixture of hexagonal ferrite-forming components and a glass-forming component, and rapidly cooling the resultant molten mixture to obtain an amorphous material. The amorphous material is thermally treated to precipitate fine particles of the hexagonal ferrite therein. The amorphous material containing the precipitated fine particles is dissolved such that the glass-forming component remains on each of said fine particles in an amount of 0.01 to 0.3% by weight based on the weight of the particles.
