Description of the Related Art In a magnetic recording medium such as a coating type magnetic tape or a magnetic disk, further higher recording density is required in order to achieve higher image quality and the like. With this increase in recording density, iron or metal magnetic powder mainly composed of iron has been widely used, and the miniaturization thereof has been actively promoted.

し、結果として出力特性が劣化してしまう。[0003] However, iron or iron-based metal magnetic powders are inherently easily rustable and easily oxidized, and such properties are more and more likely as the magnetic powders are miniaturized. It tends to be stronger. For this reason, when this metal magnetic powder is used as a magnetic powder for a magnetic recording medium, during storage of the metal magnetic powder, or during the process of coating with a binder or an organic solvent, etc. After being coated on a non-magnetic support and formed into a sheet, during storage under conditions such as a predetermined atmosphere, temperature, and humidity, oxidation mainly due to the influence of oxygen, some kind of gas, and moisture advances. There arises a problem that magnetic characteristics such as saturation magnetization and coercive force are deteriorated. Further, such a phenomenon causes a decrease in the residual magnetic flux density of the magnetic recording medium, and as a result, the output characteristics deteriorate.

In addition, depending on the treatment method, there is a possibility that the surface treatment itself may cause deterioration of magnetic properties or that the dispersibility of the paint may be reduced.

至ったものである。Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies to achieve the above object, and as a result, have defined the range of the product of the BET specific surface area and the specific gravity of a ferromagnetic metal powder containing iron as a main component. By doing so, a ferromagnetic metal powder excellent in oxidation resistance without any surface treatment is realized, and by using this ferromagnetic metal powder as a magnetic powder, it has been found that the weather resistance of a magnetic recording medium is improved, The present invention has been completed.

る。That is, the present invention mainly comprises iron on a non-magnetic support.
In a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic layer mainly composed of a ferromagnetic metal powder as a component and a binder, the BET specific surface area (m 2 / g) and the specific gravity (g / cc) of the ferromagnetic metal powder
Are not less than 190 m 2 / cc and not more than 250 m 2 / cc, and the acicular ratio is not less than 5 and not more than 20.

止するとともに、耐候性を向上するためには、下記の
(1)式で示される基準値がAが190m2/cc以上
250m2/cc以下であることが必要となる。In order to prevent the magnetic characteristics of the magnetic recording medium from deteriorating over time and to improve the weather resistance, the reference value represented by the following equation (1) is A: 190 m 2 / cc or more and 250 m 2 / cc. It is necessary that:
【0010】 基準値A=(BET比表面積)×(比重ρ) ・・・(1) このように、基準値Aを190m2/cc以上250m

る強磁性金属粉末を使用すれば、高耐候性を有する磁気
記録媒体を得ることができる。Reference value A = (BET specific surface area) × (specific gravity ρ) (1) Thus, the reference value A is set to 190 m 2 / cc or more and 250 m
The reason why the magnetic recording medium can be prevented from deteriorating over time by setting the ratio to 2 / cc or less is considered to be conceptually due to the formation of a high-density metal iron nucleus and the formation of a dense and uniform iron oxide layer surrounding it. Can be Therefore, if a ferromagnetic metal powder satisfying these conditions is used, a magnetic recording medium having high weather resistance can be obtained.

表面に凸凹や細孔を有し不均一な強磁性金属粉末では、

果は期待できない。That is, the BET specific surface area in the above formula (1) is a value having a dimension of [m 2 / g], while the specific gravity is a value having a dimension of [g / cc] expressed as a true specific gravity. From the reference value A [m given by the product of
2 / cc] can be said to represent the specific surface area per unit volume. Here, if the surface of the ferromagnetic metal powder is smooth and uniform, the BET specific surface area is small and the specific gravity is generally large. This is effective for improving the weather resistance. vice versa,
In the case of non-uniform ferromagnetic metal powder having irregularities and pores on the surface,
The BET specific surface area is large, the specific gravity is small, and good effects cannot be expected.
【0012】仮に、BET比表面積と比重が反比例する

結果から明らかにされた。If the BET specific surface area and the specific gravity are inversely proportional, the above-mentioned reference value A will be constant. However, they are not inversely proportional. It has been clarified from the experimental results of the present inventors that an improvement in the performance is observed.

得られなくなる。As is apparent from FIG. 1, the product of the BET specific surface area and the specific gravity of the ferromagnetic metal powder is 190 to 250 m 2 / c.
When it is c, the deterioration rate of the saturation magnetization σ S is very small, 10% or less. Therefore, the range of the reference value A to be limited is set to 190 ≦ A ≦ 250 (m 2 / cc). If the reference value A is out of the above range, sufficient weather resistance cannot be obtained.

く低下してしまい、実用上採用できない。As described above, the reference value A is a specific surface area per unit volume. In other words, the reference value A indicates a (surface area) / (volume) value of a particle. Therefore, the reference value A strongly depends on the shape of the particle. For example, the minimum value of the reference value A is realized when the shape of the particle is spherical. However, as is conventionally known, the coercive force of the ferromagnetic metal powder results from the shape anisotropy of the particles. Therefore,
In order to realize a high coercive force, it is essential to have an appropriate needle ratio L / W. In the present invention, 5 ≦ L /
It is required that the range of W ≦ 20 be satisfied. If the acicular ratio of the ferromagnetic metal powder is out of the above range, a good coercive force cannot be secured. The properties are remarkably reduced and cannot be used practically.
