The properties required of magnetic head core materials include good abrasion resistance against magnetic tape sliding, high saturation magnetic flux density and magnetic permeability related to the electromagnetic conversion characteristics of magnetic heads, and low coercive force. It is easy to process into pieces.

Permalloy, soft ferrite, sendust, etc. are generally used as magnetic head materials that meet these requirements. However, soft ferrite has low saturation magnetic flux density and problems such as chipping, and sendust has the disadvantage of poor workability and low mass production.
Permalloy is often used because of its good processability.

However, permalloy has the disadvantage of lower abrasion resistance than soft ferrite/sendust, and there has been a strong desire for improved abrasion resistance. As a method to improve the wear resistance of permalloy, measures have been taken to increase the hardness by adding elements such as Si, Ti, and Al, but the wear resistance does not improve as much as expected. However, the high saturation magnetic flux density, which is a characteristic of permalloy, has the drawback of being significantly reduced by the addition of the above elements.

The inventor of the present invention has made use of the advantages of permalloy to provide a magnetic head core with excellent wear resistance, and as a result of repeated various experiments, the inventor has developed a chromium-based oxide film by heat treatment on the surface of chromium-based permalloy. It has been found that by forming such a core piece, it is possible to provide a core piece having an oxide film with improved magnetic permeability and strong adhesion strength without reducing the saturation magnetic flux density, and with high productivity in an industrial manner.

That is, this invention is achieved by using chromium-based permalloy as a material for the magnetic head, and the surface is heated to a thickness of 0.5 μm.
This is a magnetic head core made by laminating multiple chromium-based permalloy core pieces on which an oxide film of Cr 2 O 3 or MO/Cr 2 O 3 has been formed using an adhesive such as epoxy resin. It is characterized by excellent abrasion resistance. In addition, the above M is Mg, Co,

In this invention, in order to form a Cr oxide film on the chromium-based permalloy surface, the core piece is magnetically annealed and then heat treated at 700°C or higher in a humid gas with a dew point of 0 to +40°C to form a Cr oxide film on the surface of 0.5°C.

The reason why the Cr oxide film is set to a thickness of 0.5 microns or more is because excellent wear resistance cannot be obtained if the thickness is less than 0.5 microns. In other words, since the Cr oxide film is extremely hard with a Mohs hardness of 8.5, it prevents wear caused by sliding of the magnetic tape, protects the entire core, and improves wear resistance. Furthermore, since the Cr oxide film is a good insulator, the laminated core has perfect interlayer insulation and can reduce eddy current loss.

FIG. 3 shows the results of measuring the time course of the wear amount due to sliding of the magnetic tape using a core made by laminating six core pieces of each of Examples 1 and 2. Gamma hematite tape was used as the magnetic tape at that time, and the tape speed was 4.75 cm/sec. For comparison, the results of measuring cores made of commercially available high-hardness permalloy and Sendust under the same test conditions are also shown. As is clear from the results in Figure 3, the amount of wear after 1000 hours of magnetic tape running time is 40 microns for commercially available high hardness permalloy cores and 22 microns for sendust cores, while the Cr oxide film thickness is 1.2 microns. Micron core (Example 1) is 17 microns, Cr oxide film thickness is 3.3
The wear amount of the micron core (Example 2) is 10 microns, and the wear amount of the core according to the present invention is about 1/4 to 2/5 that of the high hardness permalloy core, and about 1/1 that of the sendust core.
Very few good results were obtained, ranging from 2 to 2/3.
