Abstract
Provided is a particulate magnetic recording medium with good output at high frequency, yielding a low coefficient of friction, and having good running properties, in particular, a magnetic recording medium affording good electromagnetic characteristics and good repeat durability in recording and reproducing at a high-density. The magnetic recording medium comprises a lower layer comprising a nonmagnetic powder and a binder and an upper magnetic layer comprising a ferromagnetic powder, a binder and at least one abrasives provided on a nonmagnetic support in this order. The number of abrasive particles present on said magnetic layer surface satisfied the relation 0.2≦X≦1.2 (particles/&mgr;m2). When the number of pairs of abrasive particles satisfying the relation L≦2K (where K denotes the mean particle diameter of the abrasive and L denotes the distance from the center of gravity of one of the abrasive particles to the center of gravity of the other abrasive particle) is denoted as Y (particles/&mgr;m2), Y/X is equal to or less than 2.
