Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable use of a minicomposite type head and thin film head by forming a thin carbon film on a thin magnetic metallic film medium and further, coating potassium stearate on said carbon film. CONSTITUTION:After the thin magnetic metallic film medium is formed on a substrate, the carbon film is formed thereon by sputtering, etc., in presence or absence of at least one kind of metal selected from Cr, Ti, Ta, and Nb and in succession, the potassium stearate is coated thereon. namely, the carbon film has a certain degree of self-lubricity and has high impact resistance to contact with a magnetic head. The wear resistance is, therefore, improved greatly if the excellent solid lubricating agent is coated thereon and the CSS (contact start stop) resistance is enhanced. The magnetic disk having the thin magnetic metallic film medium provided with the protective lubricating film capable of dealing with the minicomposite type head and thin film head as well is obtd.

In a magnetic disk having a metal magnetic thin film medium,
Sufficient lubricity, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance are ensured so that the surface friction coefficient remains below a certain value without any change in appearance due to repeated contact with the recording/reproducing head (hereinafter referred to as magnetic head). It is essential to provide a protective lubricating film. Recently, with the rapid increase in the recording density of magnetic disk drives, magnetic heads have changed from the so-called mini-monolithic type (M n -Z n -7 elite) to the 4 = composite type that supports higher recording densities. Thin film heads are beginning to be adopted. However, mini composite type and thin film heads are made of slider material (Oa
Since TiO, At, O, Ti (!') has a considerably high hardness, the disk side is also susceptible to damage.

Protective lubricant films made of graphite or amorphous carbon films, which have been known as conventional technologies, have a certain degree of self-lubricating property and excellent impact resistance, but
Even a mini-monolithic type head cannot withstand long-term use because it is easily worn out by the repetition of QSS (contact start-stop), which is a series of operations such as take-off and levitation and landing of the magnetic head as the magnetic disk rotates and stops. ,Also, attempts have been made to apply a heptadium-based liquid lubricant to a carbonaceous film, but in the case of a liquid lubricant, the
In many cases, it evaporates at around 0℃, and as the magnetic disk rotates, migration occurs on the outer periphery, making it difficult to obtain good results.Moreover, the molecular structure changes slightly, causing the carbonaceous film to deteriorate. Fluorine-based liquid lubricants that have adsorption properties have recently been announced, but slider materials such as mini composite heads and thin film heads are easily scraped off by highly hard magnetic heads, and the coefficient of friction is low. There is no improvement effect, and on the other hand, if the coating amount is considerably increased, although some effect is observed, it has the disadvantage that it tends to cause magnetic head attraction phenomenon (``A-ticking'').

On the other hand, higher alcohol-based solid lubricants have been proposed, but even when applied to carbonaceous films, the coefficient of friction increases significantly for mini composite heads and thin film heads as the number of CSS increases. Yes, it had no effect. In addition, fatty acids, which are solid lubricants, have been found to be effective in maintaining the coefficient of friction at a fairly low level, but they generally have a low melting point and gradually turn into a liquid state in an environment of 50°C or higher, which can cause magnetic head attraction. It has the disadvantage of being easier.

It is essential that the lubricant maintains a sufficiently low coefficient of friction against mini-composite heads and aSS by thin-film heads in combination with the carbon film, but as a selection criterion, at least Fatty acids are selected and evaluated from the viewpoint of 6 or more, which requires that they be solid in the usage temperature range and that they do not deteriorate by reacting with or adsorbing moisture under humidified conditions.Fatty acids show relatively good properties. Among the metal salts, potassium stearate was found to have the best properties.

The formation method can be sputtering, plasma CVD, or the like. Potassium stearate, which preferably has a thickness of 150 to 700 mm, may be dissolved in a solvent and formed by a dipping method, a spin code method, a spray method, or the like, or may be formed by a vacuum evaporation method.

It seems appropriate for the film thickness to be 20 to 1,501 mm. When dissolving it in a solvent and applying it, dissolve it in low boiling point methanol or ethanol as much as possible, and when forming it by dipping, mix a methanol solution or an ethanol solution of potassium stearate with a fluorocarbon solvent.

It is more effective to form a uniform film by dipping the film in two steps, for example, by forming 251 and then applying 251, rather than forming the film. (This coating method is possible because potassium stearate, once precipitated from an alcohol/fluorocarbon solution, is difficult to dissolve in an alcohol/fluorocarbon mixed solvent.) [Example] Aluminum alloy disk with a diameter of 55" Electroless N on board
After forming a 1-P plating film of 20 μm, it was polished to a thickness of about 15 μm using a mechanochemical method. Furthermore, a C0-N1-P plating film was formed with a thickness of 7001 mm as a metal magnetic thin film medium.
