(TLA is the total percentage with the addition of the lanthanide series of 57 to 71 atomicity in expression formula (1) 0.5≤TLA≤15.)
(TAM equals the total percentage of the addition of Y+Ti+Zr+Hf+V+Nb+Ta+B/2 to expression formula (2) 5≤TLA+TAM, wherein, only for B, uses its value of 1/2.)
(TNM equals the total percentage of the addition of C+Al+Si+P+Cr+Mn+Ni+Cu+Zn+Ga+Ge+Mo+Sn+W in expression formula (3) TLA+TAM+TNM≤30.)
In alloy according to the present invention, the lanthanide series with 57 to 71 atomicity is for reducing the Bs in room temperature and is suppressed at the important element that the Bs of high temperature declines, and has noncrystal facilitation effect.The in the situation that of crystalline solid, having according in the material of alloy composition of the present invention, this element is also and Co and/or Fe generate the element of compound between brittle metal.In alloy according to the present invention, Y, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta and B are the elements that is reduced in the Bs of room temperature and has noncrystal facilitation effect.
In alloy according to the present invention, C, Al, Si, P, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Mo, Sn and W are for reducing the element adding at the Bs of room temperature.Therefore, be less than 0.5 TLA and cause not enough suppressing at high temperature the effect that Bs declines, make to be difficult to the sputtering target material machining with this alloy composition to becoming crystal and be greater than 15 TLA, because produce the intermetallic compound of a large amount of fragility.Further, be less than 5 TLA+TAM and cause inadequate noncrystal facilitation effect.In addition, be greater than 30 TLA+TAM+TNM and cause the Bs too low in room temperature.In addition, the preferable range in each expression formula is as follows.
In expression formula (1), this scope is preferably 1≤TLA≤13, more preferably 2≤TLA≤11.In expression formula (2), this scope is preferably 6≤TLA+TAM, more preferably 7≤TLA+TAM.In expression formula (3), this scope is preferably TLA+TAM+TNM≤28, more preferably TLA+TAM+TNM≤26.In addition, the scope of the ratio of the total content of the content to Fe and Fe and Co (hereinafter referred to as " Fe%/(Fe%+Co%) ") not restriction especially, but, for the soft magnetic film in perpendicular magnetic recording medium, often use the alloy with this ratio in the scope being greater than below 0 and 0.90, and more often use this ratio in the scope having more than 0.30 and below 0.65 those.
