Further, in order to provide a suitable surface roughness (Ra of about 50 to 100), the average particle size of alumina is desirably equal to or less than the thickness of the thermosetting coating film. For example, the average particle size of alumina is 0.5 to 1.
If it is 0 μm, the surface roughness will be Ra of about 50 to 100, and adhesion between the head and the magnetic recording medium can be effectively prevented. Alumina may be spherical or crushed.

In the present invention, a base layer is provided on a synthetic resin substrate, and a thermosetting coating film is used as the base layer. That is, since the thermosetting resin coating is applied onto the synthetic resin substrate and cured by heat, good adhesion can be obtained between the thermosetting coating and the synthetic resin substrate. Furthermore, since curing can be performed at a much lower temperature than the high-temperature treatment such as baking at 500°C as described in the prior art, it is possible to form a highly hard coating without applying excessive heat to the synthetic resin substrate. is possible.

This thermosetting coating film contains alumina. Thereby, the hardness of the synthetic resin substrate provided with the thermosetting coating can be increased. Furthermore, by using this alumina, the roughness of the surface of the magnetic recording medium can be adjusted to obtain an appropriate surface roughness (Ra about 50 to 100). If the surface roughness is Ra about 50 to 100λ, the contact area between the head and the magnetic recording medium will be small, and the coefficient of friction between the head and the magnetic recording medium will also be small. This can prevent adhesion between the head and the magnetic recording medium.

Furthermore, in the present invention, non-magnetic particles having a specific resistance of 1 x 10' Ωcm or less are contained in the thermosetting resin so that the surface electrical resistance value of the thermosetting coating film is about 106 to 1010 Ω/2 or less. Therefore, conductivity is imparted to the thermosetting coating film, and charging of the magnetic recording medium is prevented.

The surface resistance value of a thermosetting coating film varies depending on conditions such as the type of non-magnetic particles contained, the content, and the distribution within the thermosetting coating film, so it should be approximately 10" to 1010Ω/mouth or less. may be determined appropriately by determining the relationship between these conditions and the electrical resistance value in advance.

In the present invention, the above-described thermosetting coating film can impart sufficient hardness to the synthetic resin substrate, thereby improving C5S durability. Since it is a thermosetting coating, it has good adhesion to synthetic resin substrates, and also prevents static electricity on synthetic resin substrates, which induces the adhesion of foreign matter to the surface on which the magnetic recording layer is formed. Therefore, signal defects in the formed magnetic recording layer are significantly reduced. Furthermore, by providing the surface of the manufactured magnetic recording medium with an appropriate roughness, it is possible to prevent adhesion between the head and the recording medium during use.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since the radial cross-sectional shape extending from the inner circumference to the outer circumference has a gentle convex shape, the flying height of the magnetic recording medium 22 is smaller than the bed gap, as shown in FIG. The portion 10 (flying height H1) is smaller than the slider portion 21 (flying height H2). The closer the distance between the head gap portion 10 and the magnetic recording medium 22, the greater the output can be obtained.
Furthermore, since the resolution is also improved, the present invention can provide a high-output, high-resolution magnetic recording medium.
