Abstract

PURPOSE:To compatibly obtain both of a high output characteristic and flawing property by specifying the average surface roughness on the magnetic layer side of metallic foil and the ratio between the average surface roughness of the surface not coated with the magnetic layer and the max. height to respectively specific ranges. CONSTITUTION:The magnetic recording medium is constituted by providing the magnetic layer on one surface of the metallic foil. The average surface roughness Ra on the magnetic layer side of this metallic foil is required to be 2 to 100nm and the ratio Rt/Ra between Ra of the surface not coated with the magnetic layer and the max. height Rt to be <=15. The Ra larger than the above-mentioned range leads to the defective output characteristic and is, therefore, undesirable. The Ra smaller than this range leads to the generation of flaws by contact with rolls, etc., in the stages before the application of the magnetic layer and is, therefore, undesirable. The Rt/Ra larger than the above- mentioned values causes the flawing of guide pins in the case of tape traveling and is, therefore, undesirable.
