Abstract

Ferromagnetic metal particles of substantially iron are prepared by starting from an acicular .alpha.-FeOOH, applying a shape-stabilizing finish to the particle surface, heating at 500.degree.-850.degree. C. and subsequently reducing with gaseous reducing agents at 200.degree.-500.degree. C. to the metal, and starting .alpha.-FeOOH being prepared in the presence of zinc and phosphate ions.
