Abstract

Magnetic iron oxide pigments useful in magnetic signal recordings having a dependence of coercivity on temperature in the temperature range of from 76K to 298K of less than 0.13 kA/mK and having a coercivity on powder compressed to 0.9 g/cm.sup.3 of greater than 51 kA/m are prepared by coating a magnetic iron oxide core material having the composition FeO.sub.x where x is a number from 1.33 to 1.5 in a first step with a compound containing divalent and trivalent iron having a ratio of Fe(III): Fe(II) from 0.01 to less than 2, and then in a second step coating the pre-coated core with a second coating of a cobalt compound.
