ィスクの組合せ選定に好適な接触耐力評価方法に関する
。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for evaluating head/disk contact strength in a magnetic disk drive, and particularly to a contact strength evaluation method suitable for selecting a head/disk combination with high contact strength.
磁気ディスク装はの高密度記録化を実現するため、ヘッ
ドとディスクの浮上間隙(浮上量)は狭小化の傾向にあ

うな状況に鑑み、ヘッドとディスクが接触した場合にお
いても、耐クラツシユ性の高いヘッドとディスクの開発
が必要となっている。In order to achieve high-density recording in magnetic disk drives, the flying gap (flying height) between the head and the disk tends to become narrower. Along with this, the probability of contact between the head and the disk increases, increasing the risk of head crash. In view of this situation, there is a need to develop heads and disks that are highly resistant to crushing even when the heads and disks come into contact with each other.
この開発に当たり考慮すべきことは、ヘッド材の耐摩耗

懸念があることである。また、前述の如く、浮上型低下
に伴ないヘッドとディスクの連続接触の発生確率が上昇
し、クラッシュに至る可能性も大きい。When developing this, it is important to consider that if the wear resistance of the head material is high and the wear resistance of the disk is low, the disk will easily wear out over time and lead to a crash. If the wear resistance of the disk is low and the wear resistance of the disk is high, there is a concern that the head will deteriorate over time and the magnetic recording element will be destroyed. Furthermore, as described above, as the flying type decreases, the probability of continuous contact between the head and the disk increases, and the possibility of a crash is also high.
従って、ヘッドとディスクのいずれか一方のみの耐摩耗
性が高くても意味がなく、ヘッドとディスクの両方が、
特定の組合せにおいて耐摩耗性が高くなるようにするこ
とが重要である。Therefore, it is meaningless to have high wear resistance for either the head or the disk; both the head and disk have high wear resistance.
It is important to ensure that a particular combination has high wear resistance.
