Abstract
A magnetic recording medium wherein a magnetic layer containing a particulate magnetic material and a binder is formed on a substrate exhibits improved performance as magnetic recording tape, disk, and sheet when the particulate magnetic material comprises particles having iron carbide at least on the surface thereof and optional oxide particles, and the particulate magnetic material contains 5 to 90% by weight of iron carbide in the form of Fe.sub.n C.
Claims3
A magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate and a magnetic layer formed thereon and containing a particulate magnetic material and a radiation curable binder, characterized in that
- the particulate magnetic material comprises (a) magnetic particles having iron carbide of the formula:
- Fe.sub.n C where n is a number of at least 2 at least on the surface thereof and (b) oxide particles, and the particulate magnetic material contains 5 to 90% by weight of iron carbide.
A magnetic recording medium comprising a disk-shaped flexible substrate and a magnetic layer formed thereon and containing a particulate magnetic material formed thereon and containing a particulate magnetic material and a radiation curable binder, characterized in that
- the particulate magnetic material comprises magnetic particles having iron carbide of the formula:
- Fe.sub.n C where n is a number of at least 2 at least on the surface thereof and contains 5 to 90% by weight of iron carbide.
