Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve durability without deteriorating a high-density recording characteristic by passing a work formed by depositing a thin ferromagnetic film on a high-polymer film through a satd. vapor pressure atmosphere of a solvent under projection of electron rays thereto. CONSTITUTION:A lubricating agent 3 such as, for example, stearic acid, is housed into a lubricating agent heating vessel 4 in a treatment chamber 2 where the lubricating agent 3 is heated. The inside of the treatment chamber is evacuated 8 to a vacuum to maintain the satd. vapor pressure atmosphere of the lubricating agent 3 in said chamber. While the work 1 formed by depositing the thin ferromagnetic metallic film on the high-polymer film is passed through the inside of such treatment chamber, the electrons are projected thereto by an electron gun 12. As a result, the lubricating agent 3 penetrates thoroughly among the columnar particles of the thin metallic film and react strongly when projected by the electron rays. The satisfactory durability is thus obtd. with the small amt. of the lubrication without deteriorating the high-density recording characteristic.

(Torr) (approximately 76℃),
An electron beam of 5QK■ was passed through a titanium foil with a thickness of 3Qμ, and while irradiating it at 105μA/cM, 69ml1sin was applied.
The sample was wound up and treated with stearic acid by steam. This process is performed using a 6ocrn wide polymer film with a length of 3 OOO
The test was carried out using a number of objects to be processed. From this, a magnetic tape of 8mm x 9 width was obtained. For comparison, a material with stearic acid vapor deposited was also produced with a width of 5ocTn and a length of 300'm.
Then an 8 mm wide magnetic tape was obtained. Samples of the examples and comparative examples were arbitrarily extracted in the width direction and longitudinal direction, and 30 rolls of tape each having a length of 50 m were investigated. The error rate for early PCM recording was 1.5 x 10" on an 8mm videotape recorder.
-"~3.1X10-", there was no difference, but 66℃as
The PCM error rate after being left at %RH for one month was 2.2X10-5 to 4.9X10 in the present example, while it was 4.9X10 in the comparative example. lX10”-”~2. I Xl
It was confirmed that the uniformity of this example can also be said to be a characteristic of the manufacturing method.
