Abstract: A chromium dioxide material consisting of acicular, ferromagnetic chromium dioxide particles having a nonmagnetic, hydrogen-containing protective surface layer, which material has improved stability to chemical decomposition, a process for its preparation and magnetic recording media containing this chromium dioxide and having good long-term stability of the residual magnetization under conditions of high humidity and temperature are described.

Abstract: Stabilized acicular ferromagnetic chromium dioxide is prepared by reductive treatment of the chromium dioxide with Na.sub.2 [Fe(CO).sub.4 ], and this material is present in magnetic recording media.

Abstract: Finely divided hexagonal ferrite powder is prepared by autoclave treatment of an aqueous alkaline suspension containing the ferrite-forming metal ions at from 250.degree. to 330.degree. C. and subsequent heating of the resulting material at not more than 900.degree. C., by a process in which the ferrite-forming metal ions are used in the form of salts melted in their water of crystallization.

Abstract: An acicular, ferromagnetic material which has a high coercive force and essentially consists of iron-containing chromium dioxide is prepared by thermal decomposition of hydrated chromium(III) chromate under superatmospheric pressure.

Abstract: Acicular, ferromagnetic metal particles which essentially consist of iron and have a nickel content of not more than 0.4% by weight and high values for coercive force and magnetization, and a process for the preparation of these particles. The particles further include zinc, phosphorus in the form of phosphate ions, and silicon in the form of SiO.sub.2.

Abstract: A weed extracting tool includes an elongated shaft having a handle at its upper end and a cutting head at its lower end. The cutting head includes a tubular housing and a semi-circular blade depending from the housing. An ejector device is reciprocable within the tubular housing for clearing weeds and soil from the cutting head. The ejector is biased to an extended position by means of a compression spring. A latching device holds the ejector in a retracted position against the bias of the spring.
