The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium in which a metal ferromagnetic thin film is formed on a nonmagnetic support by plating, vapor deposition, sputtering, ion plating, or the like. Recently, in order to increase the residual magnetic flux density and increase output, Fe, Co, Co-Ni, Co-Cr, Fe
Magnetic tapes have been put into practical use in which a ferromagnetic metal such as -Ni is plated and directly deposited on a nonmagnetic support by vacuum evaporation, sputtering, ion plating, etc. to form a metal ferromagnetic thin film. As is well known in the art, such a magnetic tape comes into sliding contact with various tape guides including a magnetic head and a guide drum during use. For this reason, it is particularly desirable that the friction between the magnetic surface of the magnetic tape, that is, the surface of the metal ferromagnetic thin film, and the sliding member be as small as possible. The present invention was made in view of these problems, and it is possible to create a magnetic recording medium with good running performance by applying a lubricant to the surface of a metal ferromagnetic thin film to form a top coat layer with a low coefficient of friction. This is what we are trying to provide. As such a lubricant, an organic compound having a carbon chain is usually used, but in this case,
In order to improve its lubricity, it is preferable to use a material with as low a surface tension as possible. For this purpose, in the present invention, a fluorinated hydrocarbon compound (hereinafter referred to as fluorocarbons) in which fluorine is bonded to a carbon chain is used as a lubricant applied to the surface of a metal ferromagnetic thin film. Furthermore, in order to achieve a sufficiently low coefficient of friction even at low sliding speeds, the lubricant according to the invention contains -SO 3 Me (Me is K or Na), -
It has at least one active group selected from SO 2 F, -COONH 4 , -COOH and -SO 3 H, and the coating amount thereof is 1 to 100 mg/m 2 . With such a configuration, the magnetic recording medium according to the present invention exhibits good running characteristics because the friction between the metal ferromagnetic thin film and the various sliding members with which the metal ferromagnetic thin film slides is reduced. Lubricants made of fluorocarbons having active groups as described above are unsuitable for use as a top coat layer in conventional coating-type magnetic recording media. That is, conventional coated magnetic recording media are constructed by coating a magnetic coating material mainly consisting of ferromagnetic powder and an organic binder on a non-magnetic support. When a lubricant made of fluorocarbons having active groups as described above is applied as a top coat layer to the surface of the magnetic layer having such a structure, the active groups are adsorbed to the ferromagnetic powder and bonded to the carbon chains. Due to the high electronegativity of the fluorine, the binder is almost completely shielded from the ferromagnetic powder. This increases the amount of powder falling off when the magnetic recording medium slides. In contrast, in the magnetic recording medium of the present invention in which the magnetic layer is composed of a metal ferromagnetic thin film that does not contain an organic binder, a lubricant made of fluorocarbons having active groups as described above is used without the risk of powder falling off. It can be used as an effective top coat layer. In the present invention, the coating amount of the fluorocarbons is approximately 1 to 100 mg/ m2 , particularly 2 to 20 mg/m2.
Preferably it is mg/ m2 . This application amount is 1mg/
If it is less than m 2 , the effect of improving running performance according to the present invention will not be apparent. On the other hand, if it is more than 100mg/ m2 ,
The surface tension of this lubricant layer (top coat layer) causes it to stick to the sliding member, which may result in poor running performance.Also, the lubricant is not adsorbed to the surface of the metal ferromagnetic thin film and may peel off. Therefore, this peeled part is interposed between the magnetic recording medium (for example, magnetic tape) and various sliding members such as the head drum, magnetic head, tape guide, etc., and the gap of the head clock (magnetic head is insulated). Further, since a spacing is created between the magnetic head and the magnetic recording medium, the electromagnetic conversion characteristics deteriorate. The non-magnetic support, which is the base of the magnetic recording medium according to the present invention, preferably has a thickness of about 4 to 25 μm. Materials include polyesters such as acetate, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate, and polyolefins such as polypropylene. class, cellulose triacetate,
Cellulose derivatives such as cellulose diacetate, plastics such as polyimide, polyamide, and polycarbonate, nonmagnetic metals such as Cu, Al, Zn, and Al2O3 , and ceramics such as glass, porcelain, and earthenware are used. On this non-magnetic support, plating, vapor deposition, sputtering, ion plating, etc.
A metal ferromagnetic thin film of about 500 to 2000 Å consisting of Fe, Co, Co-Ni, Co-Cr, Fe-Ni, etc. is formed. Note that the present invention is also applicable to magnetic recording media other than magnetic tapes, such as magnetic disks. Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to experimental examples. Experimental example Co was deposited on a 14μ thick polyethylene terephthalate film by the so-called oblique evaporation method.
A 1000 Å metal ferromagnetic thin film was formed. Note that the oblique evaporation method is a method in which a evaporation beam is incident on the surface of a nonmagnetic support from a direction inclined at a predetermined angle, thereby aligning the magnetic anisotropy of the magnetic layer in a predetermined direction. , and its coercive force can be increased. Next, on the surface of the metal ferromagnetic thin film, B ~
6 mg/m 2 of 1% Freon solution of each compound shown as L
A magnetic tape was prepared by coating the material at a ratio of . In addition,
In Experimental Example A, nothing was applied to the surface of the metal ferromagnetic thin film. Each of the magnetic tapes thus obtained was subjected to a friction test, and the respective friction coefficients were measured. This friction test was conducted as follows. That is, each sample tape, one end of which was connected to a tension gauge, was brought into sliding contact with a drum made of 0.1S stainless steel, and the tapes were reciprocated with a tension of 50 g applied thereto. Tape width is approximately 12.7mm, running speed is 1mm/
It was hot in sec. The experiment was conducted at a temperature of 20°C and a relative humidity of 60%. The results are shown in the table below, and the friction coefficient remained almost unchanged even after 100 runs.
