Description

本発明は,磁気テープや磁気ディスク等の磁気記録媒体の磁性層を構成するのに好適な強磁性金属粉末の製造法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a ferromagnetic metal powder suitable for forming a magnetic layer of a magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic tape or a magnetic disk.

オーディオ用,ビデオ用,コンピュータ用などの磁気テープやディスク等の磁気記録媒体は,記録容量の高密度化による小型化,高性能化がより一段と進み,それに伴って磁気記録媒体用の磁性粉も,従来の酸化鉄系統のものから保磁力・飽和磁化の高い金属磁性粉末へと進展してきている。   Magnetic recording media such as audio, video, and computer magnetic tapes and disks are becoming smaller and higher performance due to higher recording capacities, and magnetic powders for magnetic recording media are also becoming available. , The conventional iron oxide series has progressed to metal magnetic powder with high coercive force and saturation magnetization.

このような用途に使用される金属磁性粉は鉄を主成分とするものが代表的であるが,Ni,Co等を主成分とするものもある。   The metal magnetic powder used for such applications is typically composed mainly of iron, but there are also those composed mainly of Ni, Co and the like.

鉄系磁性粉は,工業的にはオキシ水酸化鉄もしくは酸化鉄を主体とした針状粉末の表面にSi,Al,Zr,Ca等の焼結防止剤を付着又は吸着させた後,加熱還元する方法によって製造されているのが一般である。   Iron-based magnetic powders are industrially reduced by heat reduction after adhering or adsorbing sintering inhibitors such as Si, Al, Zr, and Ca on the surface of needle-shaped powders mainly composed of iron oxyhydroxide or iron oxide. In general, it is manufactured by a method.

オキシ水酸化鉄もしくは酸化鉄を主体とする化合物を工業的に合成するにあたっては,中和剤としてコストや取り扱いの容易さから周期律表第1a族元素化合物,例えばNaOH,Na2CO3,KOH等が使用されてきた。このため,金属磁性粉の表面にはNa やK等の周期律表第1a族元素が多少とも不可避的不純物として残存する結果となっている。 When industrially synthesizing a compound mainly composed of iron oxyhydroxide or iron oxide, the group 1a element compound of the periodic table such as NaOH, Na 2 CO 3 , KOH is used as a neutralizing agent because of cost and ease of handling. Etc. have been used. For this reason, the result is that some elements of Group 1a of the periodic table such as Na and K remain as inevitable impurities on the surface of the metal magnetic powder.

周期律表第2a族元素についても同様なことが言える。例えば特公昭59 32882
号公報や特開平2−107701号公報に記載されているように,当該元素は焼結防止剤等として使用されることがあり,このため,金属磁性粉の表面に残存する結果となっている。
The same can be said for the Group 2a element of the periodic table. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 59 32882
As described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-107701 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-107701, the element may be used as a sintering inhibitor or the like, and as a result, remains on the surface of the metal magnetic powder. .

本発明は,金属磁性粉末を用いた高密度磁気記録媒体の一層の品質改善を目的としたもので,磁気特性及び分散性が良く,また磁気層の保存安定性の優れた強磁性金属粉末を得ることを目的としたものである。   The present invention aims to further improve the quality of a high-density magnetic recording medium using a metal magnetic powder. A ferromagnetic metal powder having good magnetic properties and dispersibility and excellent storage stability of a magnetic layer. The purpose is to obtain.

本発明によれば,周期律表第1a族元素の含有量が0.05重量%以下であり,必要に応じて金属元素の総量に対して 0.1〜30原子%のアルミニウム, 更には金属元素の総量に対して 0.1〜10原子%の希土類元素(Yを含む)を含有させ,また可溶性となる周期律表第2a族元素の残存量が0.1 重量%以下の針状の強磁性金属粉末を提供する。この針状の強磁性金属粉末を製造するには,Al含有オキシ水酸化鉄を250〜400℃で加熱してAlをAl23 として固定したうえ,これに希土類元素(Yを含む)を含有させ,得られたAlと希土類元素(Yを含む)を含む酸化鉄の粉末を還元性雰囲気中で加熱還元する段階と,AlをAl23 として固定したあと希土類元素(Yを含む)を含有させる前に水洗を行う段階とを経るのが良い。 According to the present invention, the content of the Group 1a element in the periodic table is 0.05% by weight or less, and if necessary, 0.1 to 30 atomic% of aluminum, and further to the total amount of metal elements, based on the total amount of metal elements. On the other hand, there is provided an acicular ferromagnetic metal powder containing 0.1 to 10 atomic% of a rare earth element (including Y) and having a remaining amount of Group 2a element of the periodic table that is soluble in 0.1 wt% or less. In order to manufacture this acicular ferromagnetic metal powder, Al-containing iron oxyhydroxide is heated at 250 to 400 ° C. to fix Al as Al 2 O 3 , and a rare earth element (including Y) is added thereto. The step of heating and reducing the iron oxide powder containing Al and rare earth elements (including Y) obtained in a reducing atmosphere, and fixing the Al as Al 2 O 3 and then rare earth elements (including Y) It is preferable to go through a step of washing with water before containing.

金属磁性粉末は,前記のように周期律表第1a族の元素,例えばLi,Na,K等や,周期律表第2a族の元素,例えばMg,Ca,Sr,Ba等が粒子表面に付着しているが, このような塩基性元素の可溶性塩が粒子表面に存在すると塗布型媒体を形成する場合の分散性を劣化させ, 更に媒体製品の保存安定性や耐候性を劣化させることがわかった。また,周期律表第1a族の元素は還元時の焼結を促進する作用もある。   As described above, the metal magnetic powder has a periodic table group 1a element such as Li, Na, K, etc., and a periodic table group 2a element such as Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, etc. attached to the particle surface. However, it can be seen that the presence of such a soluble salt of a basic element on the particle surface deteriorates the dispersibility when forming a coating-type medium, and further deteriorates the storage stability and weather resistance of the medium product. It was. In addition, elements of group 1a of the periodic table also have an action of promoting sintering during reduction.

近年の磁気記録媒体の高密度化により金属磁性粉の微粒子化が進んでいることから,還元時の焼結がより起こり易くなるとともに表面積の増加により,これら第1a族元素および第2a族元素の含有量も増加する傾向にある。   Due to the recent trend toward finer magnetic magnetic powders due to higher recording density of magnetic recording media, sintering during reduction is more likely to occur and the surface area increases, so that these Group 1a elements and Group 2a elements The content also tends to increase.

したがって,金属磁性粉の表面にこれら元素が残留していると,これが原因で次のような結果を招くことがわかった。   Therefore, it was found that if these elements remain on the surface of the metal magnetic powder, this causes the following results.

(A)樹脂の吸着が弱くなりテープの耐久性が低下する。
(B)可溶性であるためテープ保存時に樹脂中の塩素と化合して塩化物となり,または水酸化物としてテープ表面に析出し,ドロップアウトの増加などを招来してテープ特性の低下を招く。
(C)還元時の焼結防止が不十分となり,粒子間の焼結,針状性のくずれによりHc,SFD,配向特性の低下を招く。
(D)塩基性のこれらの元素の存在によりテープ化の際に潤滑剤となる脂肪酸等が吸着して摩擦係数が高くなる。
(A) Adsorption of the resin is weakened and the durability of the tape is lowered.
(B) Since it is soluble, it combines with chlorine in the resin to form a chloride, or precipitates as a hydroxide on the surface of the tape when stored on the tape, leading to an increase in dropout and the like, resulting in a decrease in tape characteristics.
(C) Sintering prevention at the time of reduction becomes insufficient, and Hc, SFD, and orientation characteristics are deteriorated due to sintering between particles and loss of acicularity.
(D) Due to the presence of these basic elements, fatty acids and the like which become lubricants are adsorbed during tape formation, and the friction coefficient increases.

本発明者らは,従来から不可避の成分とされていた周期表第1a族元素を0.05重量%以下に低減するならば,前記のような問題は一掃できることを知見した。また焼結防止剤としては可溶性の第2a族元素に代えて,酸化物となって可溶性とならない元素すなわちアルミニウムおよび/または希土類元素(Yを含む)を選択して適量含有させれば, 微粒子化に伴う分散性, 保存安定性の低下を防止でき,また磁気特性も飛躍的に向上することを見い出した。   The present inventors have found that the above-mentioned problems can be eliminated if the Group 1a element of the periodic table, which has conventionally been considered as an inevitable component, is reduced to 0.05% by weight or less. In addition, as a sintering inhibitor, instead of the soluble group 2a element, an element that does not become an oxide and becomes insoluble, that is, aluminum and / or rare earth element (including Y) is selected and contained in an appropriate amount, so that it becomes fine particles. It was found that the dispersibility and storage stability associated with the increase in the magnetic properties could be prevented, and that the magnetic properties were dramatically improved.

周期表第1a族元素を0.05重量%以下にするには,これらの元素が製造過程で不可避的に混入する場合にはその除去処理を行なうことが必要である。この除去処理は金属磁性粉製造工程中に十分な洗浄工程を挿入することによって有利に行ない得る。例えば, 製造されたオキシ水酸化鉄粉,酸化鉄粉または金属磁性粉を十分に洗浄するのである。特にオキシ水酸化鉄, 酸化鉄, 金属磁性粉と工程が進むに伴って該元素は,粒子表面に偏析してくるので洗浄によって除去ができることになる。また洗浄水に温水や酸を加えてpHを下げた洗浄水を用いれば更に効率良く除去する事ができる。   In order to make the Group 1a elements of the periodic table 0.05% by weight or less, when these elements are inevitably mixed in during the production process, it is necessary to remove them. This removal treatment can be advantageously performed by inserting a sufficient washing step in the metal magnetic powder production process. For example, the produced iron oxyhydroxide powder, iron oxide powder or metal magnetic powder is thoroughly washed. In particular, as the process proceeds with iron oxyhydroxide, iron oxide, and metal magnetic powder, the element segregates on the particle surface and can be removed by washing. Further, it is possible to remove the water more efficiently by using washing water whose pH is lowered by adding warm water or acid to the washing water.

このような洗浄による周期律表第1a族元素の除去処理を行えば,周期律表第2a族元素の可溶性のものも併せて除去処理が行える。   If the removal process of the group 1a element of the periodic table by such cleaning is performed, the soluble element of the group 2a element of the periodic table can also be removed.

周期律表第1a族および第2a族の元素を含まない原料を使用することのほか前記のような除去処理を施すことによって、第1a族元素では0.05重量%以下好ましくは0.01重量%以下、また可溶性となる第2a族元素の含有量は0.1重量%以下、好ましくは0.01重量%以下とすることができる。 In addition to using raw materials that do not contain elements of Group 1a and Group 2a of the Periodic Table, and performing the removal treatment as described above, 0.05% by weight or less, preferably 0.01% by weight of Group 1a elements. % Or less, and the content of the soluble Group 2a element can be 0.1% by weight or less , preferably 0.01% by weight or less.

これによって,金属磁性粉の前記A〜Dの問題が回避できる。すなわち第1a族元素が0.05重量%を超えると,テープ化のさいに樹脂との相溶性が悪くなって分散できなかったり,磁気塗料化しても塗膜強度の低いものとなり,また可溶性であるためにテープ保存時にテープ表面に溶出して結晶性の化合物となるため,ドロップアウトの増加等の原因となりテープ保存安定が低下する。他方,可溶性となる第2a族元素が0.1 重量%を超えると, 樹脂との相溶性が悪くなって塗膜強度も低くなり, 極端に多くなると第1a族と同様にテープ保存安定性も悪くなる。   Thereby, the problems A to D of the metal magnetic powder can be avoided. That is, if the Group 1a element exceeds 0.05% by weight, the compatibility with the resin deteriorates during tape formation, and it cannot be dispersed. In addition, when it is stored on the tape, it dissolves on the surface of the tape and becomes a crystalline compound, which causes an increase in dropout and lowers the storage stability of the tape. On the other hand, if the soluble group 2a element exceeds 0.1% by weight, the compatibility with the resin deteriorates and the coating strength also decreases, and if it increases excessively, the storage stability of the tape also deteriorates like the group 1a. .

加えて本発明によれば,Alおよび/または希土類元素を適量含有させることにより,金属磁性粉の分散性が改善され且つ磁気特性の一層の向上を図ることができる。すなわち本発明によれば, 可溶性でかつ塩基性である周期律1a族元素および2a族元素を実質上含まず,アルミニウムおよび/または希土類元素を含有する分散性および磁気特性の優れた強磁性金属粉末を提供できる。   In addition, according to the present invention, by containing an appropriate amount of Al and / or rare earth elements, the dispersibility of the metal magnetic powder can be improved and the magnetic properties can be further improved. That is, according to the present invention, the ferromagnetic metal powder having excellent dispersibility and magnetic properties containing substantially no periodic 1a group element and 2a group element which is soluble and basic, and contains aluminum and / or rare earth elements. Can provide.

ここで,周期律表第1a族元素はLi,Na,K等,周期律表第2a族元素はMg,Ca,Sr,Ba等,希土類元素はY,La,Ce,Pr,Nd,Sm,Tb,Dy,Gd等を包含する。   Here, Group 1a elements of the periodic table are Li, Na, K, etc., Group 2a elements of the periodic table are Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, etc., and rare earth elements are Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Including Tb, Dy, Gd and the like.

本発明に従う金属磁性粉を製造するには,オキシ水酸化鉄または酸化鉄に所定量の希土類元素とAlを含有させ,これを加熱還元する方法が好適である。被還元物のオキシ水酸化鉄ないし酸化鉄を主体として含む金属化合物粉末としては,α-FeOOH,γ-FeOOH,α-Fe2O3,γ-Fe2O3, Fe3O4およびこれらの中間型に相当するものの他,これらにNi,Co,Cr,Mn,Zn等の金属成分を含有したものが好適なものとして挙げられ,好ましくは針状性の良いものが使用される。 In order to produce the metal magnetic powder according to the present invention, a method in which a predetermined amount of rare earth element and Al are contained in iron oxyhydroxide or iron oxide and this is heated and reduced is suitable. Examples of metal compound powders mainly containing iron oxyhydroxide or iron oxide as the reductant include α-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH, α-Fe 2 O 3 , γ-Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 and these In addition to those corresponding to the intermediate type, those containing a metal component such as Ni, Co, Cr, Mn, Zn, etc. are preferred, and those having good acicularity are preferably used.

Alを含有させるのに使用できるAl化合物としては, Al2(SO4)3,Al(NO3)3,AlCl3などの水溶性塩, さらにはNaAlO2( アルミン酸ナトリウム) などの水可溶性アルミン酸塩などが挙げられ, これらのAl化合物を被還元物の粒子表面に被着させるには, これらのAl化合物をアルカリ水溶液中に溶解させ, この溶液中に被還元物粉末を分散させた後, 炭酸ガスを吹き込むか酸を添加して中和することによって行うことができ,これによって,結晶質ないし非晶質なAl23・nH2O(含水・酸化アルミニウム)として粒子表面に被着される。 Al compounds that can be used to contain Al include water-soluble salts such as Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , Al (NO 3 ) 3 , and AlCl 3, and water-soluble aluminum such as NaAlO 2 (sodium aluminate). In order to deposit these Al compounds on the particle surface of the substance to be reduced, these Al compounds are dissolved in an alkaline aqueous solution, and the powder of the substance to be reduced is dispersed in this solution. This can be done by blowing carbon dioxide or adding acid to neutralize, so that the surface of the particles is coated as crystalline or amorphous Al 2 O 3 .nH 2 O (hydrous / aluminum oxide). Worn.

またAlを該被還元物の粒子に固溶させる方法でも良い。α-FeOOHやγ-FeOOHにAlを固溶させるには FeSO4やFeCl2等の第1鉄塩の水溶液をNaOH, Na2CO3, NH4OH 等の中和剤で中和した後に空気等により酸化してα-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH等を生成させる反応系に上記の水可溶性のAl塩やアルミン酸塩を添加すれば良い。さらにα-Fe2O3にAl固溶させるには Fe2(SO4)3, FeCl3 等の第2鉄塩の水溶液と NaOH, KOH等の中和剤を使用し, 水熱合成法によりα-Fe2O3を合成する反応系に上記の水可溶性のAl塩やアルミン酸塩を添加すればよい。 Alternatively, Al may be dissolved in the particles of the substance to be reduced. To dissolve Al in α-FeOOH or γ-FeOOH After neutralizing an aqueous solution of ferrous salt such as FeSO 4 or FeCl 2 with a neutralizing agent such as NaOH, Na 2 CO 3 or NH 4 OH, air The above water-soluble Al salt or aluminate may be added to a reaction system that is oxidized by the above to produce α-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH, or the like. Furthermore, in order to dissolve Al in α-Fe 2 O 3 , an aqueous solution of ferric salt such as Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 and FeCl 3 and a neutralizing agent such as NaOH and KOH are used. The water-soluble Al salt or aluminate may be added to the reaction system for synthesizing α-Fe 2 O 3 .

こうして得られたAl含有オキシ水酸化鉄ないし酸化鉄を250〜400℃で加熱してAlをAl2O3として固定したうえ、これを希土類元素を含有させる工程の原料として使用するのがよい。この時、オキシ水酸化鉄は該加熱時の脱水反応により酸化鉄に変成されている。希土類元素含有させるには、希土類元素化合物含有液中に原料粒子を分散させ、水分を蒸発させる方法等が採用できる。 The Al-containing iron oxyhydroxide or iron oxide thus obtained is heated at 250 to 400 ° C. to fix Al as Al 2 O 3 , and this is preferably used as a raw material for the step of containing a rare earth element. At this time, iron oxyhydroxide is converted to iron oxide by a dehydration reaction during the heating. To a rare earth element, the raw material particles are dispersed in dilute earth element compound-containing liquid, a method to evaporate the moisture and the like can be employed.

上記の各種方法にて所定量のAlと希土類元素を含有させた酸化鉄の粉末は,還元性雰囲気中で加熱する事により還元され, Alと希土類元素を含有する鉄を主成分とする金属磁性粉となる。加熱還元は被還元物の種類によって最適条件が異なるが,通常は水素気流中で300〜700℃の温度下で行うのが良い。   The iron oxide powder containing a predetermined amount of Al and rare earth elements by the various methods described above is reduced by heating in a reducing atmosphere, and the metal magnetism is mainly composed of iron containing Al and rare earth elements. It becomes powder. Although the optimum conditions for heat reduction vary depending on the type of the substance to be reduced, it is usually preferable to perform the reduction in a hydrogen stream at a temperature of 300 to 700 ° C.

なお,前述の製造過程において NaOH, KOH, Na2CO3, NH4OH 等の中和剤を使用する段階が存在し,かような中和剤から由来する周期律表第1a族元素が金属磁性粉に残存することになるが,前記したように,これら第1a族元素の残存は工程を経る毎の十分な洗浄処理によって有利に除去することができる。 In addition, there is a stage of using a neutralizing agent such as NaOH, KOH, Na 2 CO 3 , NH 4 OH or the like in the manufacturing process described above, and Group 1a element of the periodic table derived from such a neutralizing agent is a metal. Although it remains in the magnetic powder, as described above, the residue of these Group 1a elements can be advantageously removed by a sufficient cleaning process at each step.

こうして得られた金属磁気性粉の希土類元素の含有量は0.1〜10原子%が適当であり,好ましくは0.2〜5原子%が良い。0.1原子%未満では, 希土類元素の効果が小さく,
加熱還元時に焼結し易くなる。他方,10原子%を超えると希土類元素の酸化物の量が多くなって飽和磁化が小さくなり,磁性材料として不適当なものとなる。
The content of rare earth elements in the metal magnetic powder thus obtained is suitably 0.1 to 10 atomic%, preferably 0.2 to 5 atomic%. If it is less than 0.1 atomic%, the effect of rare earth elements is small,
It becomes easy to sinter at the time of heat reduction. On the other hand, if it exceeds 10 atomic%, the amount of rare earth oxide increases and the saturation magnetization decreases, making it unsuitable as a magnetic material.

またAl含有量は 0.1〜30原子%が適当であり,好ましくは1〜20原子%が良い。0.1原子%未満では加熱還元時に焼結し易くなり, 30原子%を超えると飽和磁化が小さくなってしまう。   The Al content is suitably from 0.1 to 30 atomic%, preferably from 1 to 20 atomic%. If it is less than 0.1 atomic%, it becomes easy to sinter at the time of heat reduction, and if it exceeds 30 atomic%, the saturation magnetization becomes small.

表1および表2の結果から次のことがわかる。   The following can be understood from the results of Tables 1 and 2.

(1) 比較例のように,Na,Caの除去処理を施さなかったものは,分散しにくく (比較例1),分散されてもテープの耐候性が低い (比較例1)ものであり,60℃,90RHで1週間置いたテープの表面には結晶が析出し保存安定性の悪い(比較例1〜4)のに対し,Na,Caの除去処理を施した実施例品は分散性が良好で,テープの耐久性および保存安定性に優れる。 (1) As in the comparative example, the Na and Ca removal treatments were not dispersed (Comparative Example 1), and even when dispersed, the tape had low weather resistance (Comparative Example 1). Crystals are deposited on the surface of the tape placed at 60 ° C. and 90 RH for one week, and the storage stability is poor (Comparative Examples 1 to 4). Good, excellent tape durability and storage stability.

(2)Na、Caの除去処理を施したうえ、Alを添加したものは、例えば参考例1と2との比較、或いは参考例5と6または7との比較から明らかなように、磁性粉の磁気特性が向上し(Hc、σr/σsが向上し、Δσsが低下する)、テープ特性についても磁気特性が向上すると共に角形比、SFD、ΔBm等も改善される。 (2) Na, Ca removal treatment and addition of Al are, for example, as shown in the comparison between Reference Examples 1 and 2, or the comparison between Reference Examples 5 and 6 or 7, and magnetic powder (Hc, σr / σs is improved and Δσs is reduced), the magnetic properties of the tape are improved, and the squareness ratio, SFD, ΔBm and the like are also improved.

(3)Na、Caの除去処理を施したうえ、希土類元素を添加したものは、例えば参考例1と3の比較、或いは参考例5と8または9との比較から明らかなように、磁性粉の磁気特性が向上し(Hc、σr/σsが向上し、Δσsが低下する)、テープ特性についても磁気特性が向上すると共に角形比、SFD、ΔBm等も改善される。 (3) As for the thing which added the rare earth element after performing the removal process of Na and Ca, for example, it becomes clear from the comparison with the reference examples 1 and 3, or the comparison with the reference examples 5, 8 or 9, and magnetic powder. (Hc, [sigma] r / [sigma] s is improved and [Delta] [sigma] s is reduced), the magnetic properties of the tape are improved, and the squareness ratio, SFD, [Delta] Bm and the like are also improved.

(4) Na,Caの除去処理を施したうえ,Alおよび希土類元素を添加したものは磁性粉の磁気特性がさらに向上し(Hc,σr/σsが向上し,Δσsが低下する),テープ特性についても磁気特性がさらに向上すると共に角形比,SFD,ΔBm 等も一層改善され,飛躍的に磁気特性及びテープ特性が向上する。また分散性,保存安定性に優れるので理想的な金属磁性粉となる。 (4) When Na and Ca are removed and Al and rare earth elements are added, the magnetic properties of the magnetic powder are further improved (Hc, σr / σs is improved and Δσs is reduced), and tape properties In addition, the magnetic characteristics are further improved and the squareness ratio, SFD, ΔBm, etc. are further improved, and the magnetic characteristics and the tape characteristics are dramatically improved. In addition, it has excellent dispersibility and storage stability, making it an ideal metal magnetic powder.

(5) また,かような改善効果は,例えば実施例15と16の比較から明らかなように微粒子ほど顕著である。 (5) Further, such an improvement effect is more remarkable for fine particles as is apparent from the comparison between Examples 15 and 16, for example.

以上説明したように,本発明によれば, 周期律表第1a元素が含まれないので樹脂との相溶性がよく且つ分散性およびテープ耐久性の良い金属磁性粉末が得られ, 保存安定性に優れた高密度磁気記録媒体を提供できる。   As described above, according to the present invention, since the element 1a of the periodic table is not included, a metal magnetic powder having good compatibility with the resin, good dispersibility and tape durability can be obtained, and storage stability can be improved. An excellent high-density magnetic recording medium can be provided.

更に,希土類元素及びAlの相互作用により優れた焼結防止効果を発揮するため針状性,分散性に優れた磁気異方性の高い金属磁性粉が得られる。   Furthermore, since an excellent sintering preventing effect is exhibited by the interaction between the rare earth element and Al, a metal magnetic powder having excellent acicularity and dispersibility and high magnetic anisotropy can be obtained.
