Abstract
The present invention discloses a magnetic recording particulate mediumhaving amagnetic layer on anonmagnetic support, the magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic metal powder and a binder and having a coercive force of 1,400 to 1,700 Oe, wherein the ferromagnetic metal powder is spindle-shaped particles consisting essentially of Fe and having a Co/Fe ratio of from 1 to 5 atomic %, an Al/Fe ratio of from 5 to 15 atomic %, an average major axis length of 0.1 to 0.2 .mu.m and a specific surface area of 40 to 50 m.sup.2 /g, and the binder contains a polyurethane consisting essentially of a diol component comprising a polyether polyol and a polyester polyol and a polyisocyanate component. This magnetic recording particulate medium is characterized by minimal head wear, freedom from head clogging, and satisfactory electromagnetic characteristics.
