Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve mechanical characteristics, such as travelling property, durability, etc. while keeping excellent magnetic characteristics by evaporating a metal, the principal ingredient thereof is iron Fe, in vacuum under comparatively low specific pressure and forming a ferromagnetic metallic thin-film with Fe3N phase onto a nonmagnetic substrate. CONSTITUTION:Fe is evaporated obliquely onto the nonmagnetic substrate consisting of a polyethylene terephthalate film at an angle of incidence of 60 deg. to the surface to be evaporated of the nonmagnetic substrate at the degree of vacuum of 10<-4>Torr, and the magnetic metallic thin-film is formed, thus obtaining the magnetic recording medium. With the magnetic recording medium, it has not only mechanical characteristics but also magnetically excellent ones as compared to a conventional metallic thin-film type magnetic recording media, and not only labor is the same as one through a conventional evaporation method but also the high degree of vacuum is not required in its manufacture. Accordingly, workability can be improved, and the device can be simplified.

In this metal thin film type magnetic recording medium, various efforts have been made to solve the above-mentioned durability problem. For example, structures have been proposed in which the surface of a metal sulfuric thin film is slightly oxidized or a polymer film is formed on the surface. However, these structures degrade the original characteristics of the metal thin film IIi magnetic storage medium, such as increasing spacing loss and decreasing the properties of the magnetic metal itself, such as the residual magnetic flux density Br. The idea was that it would end up happening.

Due to the deformation of the body-centered cubic lattice structure (b, c, t,), this Fe phase is a metastable phase located in the relationship between the Fe phase and the Fe 4N phase.
The BN phase has a saturation magnetization Ms approximately 30% higher than that of the Fe phase, and because it is a nitride, it has high hardness and a small friction coefficient, and therefore has excellent running properties and wear resistance. We have investigated certain things, and based on this investigation, we have constructed a magnetic recording medium with excellent magnetic and mechanical properties.

In the present invention, a metal mainly composed of iron F@ is deposited on a non-magnetic support under special conditions.
A ferromagnetic metal thin film with a FeBN phase is formed on a non-magnetic support by vapor deposition in a relatively low vacuum of 0 to 10 Torr. In this case, FeB is not limited to being present over the entire magnetic metal thin film, but may be present on the surface of the ferromagnetic metal thin film.
N is made to be 20% or more of the total volume of this metal thin film. In this way, the reason why F-N is set at 20% or more is to recognize that the presence of F-N causes significant changes in magnetic and mechanical properties in the range of 20% or more. It depends on what happened.
