  • Magnetic iron oxide pigment and recording media
    Patent number: 4683167
    Abstract: An improved magnetic particulate pigment suitable for use in recording media and media employing it are disclosed. The particles of the pigment comprise a magnetic core with an epitaxial layer containing approximately 0.05-2.0% of the total pigment as zinc ion. A process for preparing such particles is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 25, 1984
    Date of Patent: July 28, 1987
    Assignee: Ampex Corporation
    Inventors: Lawrence M. Scott, Gary D. Rexroat
  • Reduction of iron oxide utilizing dehydrating agent
    Patent number: 4318734
    Abstract: Highly orientable acicular iron particles are made by reducing an acicular ferric oxide in powder form by contacting the granular acicular ferric oxide with hydrogen in the presence of a dehydrating agent selected from calcium hydride, calcium, calcium carbide, and mixtures thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 1980
    Date of Patent: March 9, 1982
    Assignee: Ampex Corporation
    Inventors: Lawrence M. Scott, Irving Wolf, Yu C. Lee
  • Economical process for producing metal particles for magnetic recording
    Patent number: 4316738
    Abstract: Highly orientable acicular iron particles are made by reducing an acicular ferric oxide which has been formed into a porous matrix by combining it with sodium tripolyphosphate and reducing the oxide with hydrogen in the presence of a dehydrating agent.

  • Particles for magnetic recording
    Patent number: 4268540
    Abstract: Improved particles for magnetic recording are provided by coating gamma ferric oxide with a mixture of barium, strontium, lead or calcium and a trivalent iron oxide. The particles have enhanced coercivity and the coercivity is relatively unaffected by elevated temperatures.
