Abstract

A method of producing ferromagnetic iron powder comprises the steps of dipping iron compound powder in a solution in which silicone oil is dissolved, removing solvent from the iron compound powder, reducing the iron compound powder in a reducing atmosphere at an elevated temperature and forming oxide layers on whole surfaces of the individual particles of the iron compound powder. Ferromagnetic iron powder produced according to this method has both a high coercive force and a high remanence ratio.
