Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the surface property of a substrate, to reduce abrasion between a recording medium and a head and to improve the magnetic characteristics as the head by using MgAl2O4 monocrystal as a substrate. CONSTITUTION:Because of monocrystal, MgAl2O4 (spinel) is prevented from a defect more than the surface coarseness due to grinding on its ground surface. Therefore, sufficient grinding improves the surface property and reduces the generation of cobalt crome fine powder from the recording medium. Since the hardness of cobalt-chromium alloy is Hv700-Hv1,200 and that of spinel monocrystal is Hv1,200, the spinel monocrystal has sufficient hardness. Therefore, a thin film head using the spinel monocrystal has superior durability. The improvement of the surface property makes it possible to improve defects such as the reduction of magnetic permeability of a soft magnetic thin film which is generated due to the surface coarseness of the substrate and the increase of coercive force.

In the case of conventional longitudinal magnetic recording methods, recording media coated with magnetic differential powder are often used. On the other hand, in perpendicular magnetic recording systems and the like, it has been considered to use a metal thin film such as cobalt chronograph film as a recording medium. When a contact type head is used with a "cobalt chromium thin film V film", a part of the cobalt chromium thin film is scraped off, and the resulting cobalt chromium differential powder damages both the medium and the head. .

Further, in the conventional ring type head, a material such as ferrite or ceramic is used for the material, and a material such as ceramic is also used for the substrate of the film head. A sintered body such as a ceramic is not uniform in a minute area, so even if the surface is polished considerably, there are pores and uneven hardness.

In the case of a thin film head, the magnetic properties of the thin film are greatly influenced by the surface condition of the substrate. In order not to impair the magnetic properties of the head, the surface precision of the substrate is required to be high.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and its purpose is to improve the surface quality of the substrate of the head, reduce wear between the recording medium and the head, and improve the magnetic properties of the head. The goal is to make people feel better.

Since the (MfA72o4) single crystal (hereinafter referred to as spinel) is a single crystal, there are no defects on the polished surface that are worse than the surface roughness caused by polishing. Therefore, by polishing sufficiently, it is possible to improve the surface quality considerably.

This makes it possible to reduce the generation of cohalt chromium fine powder from the recording medium mentioned above.

Once cobalt chromium fine powder is generated due to wear, the head must be hard enough to avoid being scraped by it. The hardness of cobalt chromium alloy is Hv700 to Hv12Q'0, and spinel (MS'At204
) Single crystal has Hv1200.
