The metal-based magnetic film of the magnetic recording medium of the present invention is based on the CoCr-based or CoNiCr-based alloy as described above.
The element has a composition in which P is compounded with one or more elements selected from Ta, Nb, and V. A CoCr-based or CoNiCr-based alloy is an alloy having a high coercive force (Hc) and a high residual magnetic flux density (Br), and when an appropriate amount of the element represented by M and P are added in combination according to the present invention, The grain boundary precipitation of Cr by the M element and the isolation of magnetic particles (domains) by the grain boundary segregation of non-magnetic P and its compounds are brought about, and the coercive force (Hc) is increased. Due to the increase in coercive force and the isolation of magnetic particles due to the combined addition of the M element and P, a remarkable noise characteristic improving effect can be obtained. Although isolation of magnetic particles and increase of coercive force are observed even when M element or P is added alone, the effect is not sufficient. As shown in Examples below, the remarkable improvement effect is secured by the combined addition of both elements.

In the present invention, the Cr content (x) of the alloy composition of the magnetic film is set to 0.07 to 0.16 because when it is less than 0.07, the weather resistance of the magnetic film is insufficient, and when it is more than 0.16, good magnetic properties and electric properties are obtained. This is because the characteristics cannot be secured. When the magnetic film contains Ni, the lower limit of the Ni content (v) is set to 0.
The reason for setting 05 is that the effect of improving the weather resistance due to the addition of Ni is sufficient, and the upper limit of 0.25 is that if it is exceeded, the saturation magnetic flux density (Bs) decreases and good magnetic properties and This is because the electrical characteristics cannot be obtained.

Further, regarding the M element and P, which are the most characteristic of the present invention,
The lower limit value of the element is 0.01 and the lower limit value of P is 0.01 in order to secure the effect of reducing the magnetization transition width and increasing the coercive force due to the isolation of the magnetic particles by the composite addition.
The upper limit value of the element is set to 0.04 and the upper limit value of P is set to 0.05, because if the content is exceeded, not only the effect is saturated, but also the magnetic characteristics and electric characteristics are deteriorated.
