A common method is to orient magnetic powder made of acicular crystals such as Co-coated γ-Fe 2 O 3 in the in-plane longitudinal direction of the recording medium and utilize residual magnetization in the in-plane longitudinal direction. However, this recording medium has the disadvantage that the demagnetizing field within the magnetic recording medium increases as the recording density increases, and recording and reproducing characteristics are particularly poor in the short wavelength region. In order to overcome this demagnetizing field and perform high-density recording, it is necessary to increase the coercive force of the recording medium and thin the magnetic recording layer, but currently it is difficult to increase the coercive force of the magnetic recording layer, and it is also necessary to thin the magnetic recording layer. Making it thinner has problems such as degrading the characteristics of the reproduced signal. After all, it is difficult to achieve high density magnetic recording using the conventional method of orienting acicular magnetic powder in the in-plane longitudinal direction and utilizing residual magnetization in this direction. Therefore, a method has been proposed that uses residual magnetization in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the magnetic recording medium.
In this perpendicular magnetic recording method, as the recording density increases, the demagnetizing field in the recording medium decreases, so it can be said that it is essentially a recording method suitable for high-density recording. Here, the residual magnetization in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the recording medium may be caused by orienting the magnetic powder over the entire recording medium so that the residual magnetization is perpendicular, or it may be non-oriented without orienting the magnetic powder. A portion of residual magnetization may remain in the perpendicular direction after coating.

反応を制御しなければならない。 As such recording media, there have been proposed media in which a Co--Cr alloy film is formed by sputtering, and media in which the recording film is formed by a coated layer of magnetic fine particles. By the way, in the case where the recording film is formed of a coating layer containing magnetic powder, the following manufacturing method can be considered. That is, as a magnetic powder, for example
A hexagonal ferrite such as BaFe 12 O 19 is used. Uses hexagonal ferrite. The reason is that this ferrite has a flat plate shape and the axis of easy magnetization is perpendicular to the plate surface, so the plate surface of hexagonal ferrite tends to become parallel to the tape surface after coating, and it is difficult to apply magnetic field orientation treatment or mechanical treatment. This is because vertical alignment can be easily achieved by alignment treatment. However, when manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording medium by a so-called coating method using the above-mentioned hexagonal ferrite fine powder, the following points need to be taken into consideration. In other words, the above-mentioned hexagonal ferrite has a high coercive force Hc that saturates the head during recording, so by replacing some of the constituent atoms with specific other atoms, the coercive force can be adjusted to be suitable for perpendicular magnetic recording. It is necessary to reduce the amount to a certain value. Further, it is necessary to select the crystal grain size of the hexagonal ferrite in the range of 0.01 to 0.3 μm. The reason for this is that if the thickness is less than 0.01 μm, it will not exhibit the strong magnetism required for magnetic recording, and if it exceeds 0.3 μm, it will be difficult to perform high-density recording advantageously. Various methods for producing the above-mentioned hexagonal ferrite have been proposed. Among these, in the coprecipitation method in which a metal ion solution constituting hexagonal ferrite and an alkaline solution are mixed to obtain a coprecipitate and then fired to obtain hexagonal ferrite, the coprecipitate has a particle size of 100 〓These are the following ultrafine particles, and it requires a large amount of water and time to wash such ultrafine particles with water to remove non-purpose components such as alkali. Furthermore, if this water washing is insufficient and alkali or the like remains in the coprecipitate, sintered powder will be present during firing, making it impossible to disperse the powder during recording medium production, making it difficult to obtain a recording medium with desired characteristics. Another production method, hydrothermal synthesis, uses an autoclave, which makes the production process difficult and difficult. Furthermore, since the hexagonal ferrite is produced under high temperature and high pressure, the reaction proceeds rapidly and the particle size of the obtained hexagonal ferrite becomes coarse. Magnetic powder with such a coarse particle size is unsuitable for high-density magnetic recording, and for this reason, when producing magnetic powder, it is necessary to ensure that the obtained magnetic powder does not contain coarse particles and has a good particle size distribution. To make it sharper,
The reaction must be controlled.

An aqueous solution containing one or more salts is contacted with an aqueous solution containing an alkali with a pH of 10 or higher, preferably PH12 to 13, and the mixed aqueous solution is kept at a temperature of 50°C or higher and 150°C or lower to obtain a coprecipitate. This is an easy-to-manufacture method for producing hexagonal ferrite, which has a well-organized particle size distribution, excellent dispersibility, and consists of washing and drying the material, and then subjecting it to heat treatment and reaction.

工程において特に加温する必要はなくなる。 First, an aqueous solution containing at least one of Ba, Sr, and Ca salts, a ferric salt, and, if necessary, a salt of a substitution element for coercive force control is prepared. These salts are preferably supplied in the form of chloride nitrates and organic acid salts. On the other hand, for example NaOH, KOH,
Create an alkaline aqueous solution whose pH is adjusted with NH 4 , OH, and Na 2 CO 3 (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 . At this time, if the pH is 10 or higher, a precipitate of each element can be obtained, but in order to make this precipitate stable, the pH is preferably in the range of 12 to 13. Next, the aqueous metal solution and aqueous alkaline solution are brought into contact. At this time, both aqueous solutions can be stirred and mixed in order to uniformly contact them. Also,
Either or both of the solutions can be heated during mixing. In this case, there is no need for particular heating in the next temperature holding step.

る。 The mixture is then maintained at a temperature above 50°C and below 150°C to promote the formation of a precipitate. If this holding temperature is less than 50°C, the saturation magnetization of the obtained precipitate is zero, and no ferromagnetic component is generated. On the other hand, if the holding temperature exceeds 150℃, pressurization is required, resulting in poor workability during manufacturing.
In addition, a large number of ferromagnetic components are rapidly generated, and the resulting magnetic powder becomes coarse and has a wide particle size distribution, making it impossible to obtain desirable properties for use in magnetic recording media. Furthermore, when washing this precipitate with water, the holding temperature is
In the case of precipitates formed at temperatures below 50°C, the settling speed of the precipitates is slow, making washing with water practically difficult. As a result, alkaline components remain in the precipitate, causing sintering between fine particles during heating and baking, making it difficult to form into a paint.

い、塗料化する際に分散が困難となる。 In the above heating and holding process, the heating temperature is 100℃.
In the above case, a pressure vessel such as an autoclave is used. This container has a heating temperature of 150
℃, the internal pressure only increases to about 2.5 atm, so a container simpler than the commonly used pressurized container, an autoclave, can be used. It is necessary to maintain the temperature within the above temperature range for at least 10 minutes or longer. If this time is shorter than 10 minutes, sufficient precipitate will not be obtained and the loss of raw materials will be large. Further, although there is no particular upper limit to the holding time, the upper limit is determined from the viewpoint of work efficiency. After maintaining the temperature, the mixture is allowed to stand, the supernatant liquid is removed, and the precipitate is washed with water. After repeated washing with water until no components such as alkali are extracted into the washing water,
Dry and then bake. Firing temperature is 850℃ or higher
A temperature of 975°C or lower is appropriate, but a temperature of 900°C or higher and 950°C or lower is particularly desirable. If the firing temperature is 850° C. or lower, the saturation magnetization of the obtained hexagonal ferrite will be low, which is not preferable as a magnetic recording medium. On the other hand, at temperatures above 975°C, the fine particles of hexagonal ferrite are sintered, making it difficult to disperse them when made into a paint.
