    Abstract: PURPOSE: To enhance a packing density by incorporating a specific amount or less of nickel in an overall amount of metal particles and simultaneously incorporating a specific value or more of magnetization. CONSTITUTION: The needle-like ferromagnetic metal particles made mainly of iron comprises less than 0.4wt.% of nickel to overall amount of the particles, simultaneously more than 100kA of coercive force magnetic field strength and 120nTm /g or more of magnetization measured by 160kA/m of external magnetic field, zinc, phosphorus and silicon in addition to iron and oxygen and less than 0.1wt.% of nickel to overall amount of the particles. The method for manufacturing the particles comprises the steps of precipitating shape stabilized α-FeOOH, heat treating the α-FeOOH at 500 to 850 deg.C for 30 to 300min, and subsequently reducing the obtained material at 200 to 450 deg.C by using gaseous reducing agent. Thus, the reduction of iron oxide material is simplified by nickel catalytic effect, and magnetic characteristics necessary for high packing density of a magnetic recording carrier of the iron particles can be obtained.
