Abstract:
A method of making a magnetic recording medium includes sputtering a magnetic material containing iron onto a substrate (3) in an atmosphere of argon gas mixed with nitrogen gas to deposit a magnetic film on the substrate (3). The nitrogen is preferably present in an amount of 10 to 10000 ppm, and a preferred version of the method comprises jointly sputtering a rare earth metal and an iron-cobalt alloy.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of making an improved magnetic recording member comprising the steps of providing an aluminium base alloy member, anodizing the member to provide thereon an oxide coating having pores therein, and treating the coating to enlarge the pore size, the treating being controlled to maintain the individuality of the pores. A magnetically receptive material is deposited in the enlarged pores to provide a magnetic recording member having an increased dipole signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a magnetic recording medium in which a magnetic layer of a ferromagnetic material, a layer of an organic material and a layer of carbon are formed on a substrate in this order. The magnetic recording medium has the benefit of remarkably extended life time because peeling and removing of the carbon protective layer can be prevented so that carbon can exerts its own lubricating action during the sliding contact of the magnetic recording medium with a magnetic head.
Abstract:
A method of making read-only magnetic recording media by the use of photolithographic/photoresist techniques, and the vacuum deposition of discrete bits of a high coercivity metal, followed by magnetization of said metal. A nonmagnetic substrate (11) is covered by a layer a photoresist (20) and a layer of high coercivity magnetic material (30). Selective light-pattern exposure of the resist, followed by layer removal procedures, cause the substrate to be covered by islands of hard magnetic material (10), in the pattern of a desired data track. The substrate is then subjected to the influence of a steady-state magnetic field in order to convert the metal islands into a read-only data pattern which can be read by a magnetic head. A floppy disk of this type is used to stress-test the head placement of floppy disk drives.
Abstract:
A method for improving the durability, surface finish, and magnetic properties of a magnetic recording disk, the recording disk having a magnetic coating material with load bearing particles therein, by applying thereto a deformational force which exceeds the elastic limit of the coating material.
Abstract:
A magnetic recording medium conventionally utilizes the in-plane magnetization mode, but recently the perpendicular magnetization mode utilizing the perpendicular anisotropy of an hcp cobalt alloy layer, in which the C axis is oriented perpendicular to the layer surface, has been proposed. The known perpendicular magnetic recording medium is produced by means of RF sputtering and comprises a Permalloy layer, as layer of a low coercive-force material, between the nonmagnetic base and the hcp cobalt alloy layer. The perpendicular anisotropy attained by the present invention in very excellent and is superior to that of a perpendicular recording medium having no Permalloy layer because a Co-Ta alloy is used as the layer of a low coercive-force material.
Abstract:
A magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate, a magnetic layer and a protective layer which consists of an organic polymeric material comprising carbon atom, hydrogen atom and oxygen atom, the content of the oxygen atom increasing towards the outer surface of the protective layer, which has improved durability and corrosion resistance.
Abstract:
A suction nozzle for removing raised edge portions of coated layer formed on flexible substrates such as photographic film, pre-sensitized plate, or magnetic tape is described. The suction nozzle has a dual pipe structure with a cleaning liquid jetting outlet and a cleaning liquid sucking inlet at one end thereof. The jetting outlet is offset from a longitudinal axis of the nozzle and forms an angle of 30% to 85¼ degrees with respect to that longitudinal axis. The sucking inlet is located along the longitudinal axis.
Abstract:
57 A carrier is provided to hold a disk while magnetic material is plated simultaneously on the two surfaces of the disk. The carrier contains a first opening substantially the same diameter as the disk and a second opening formed about a center line offset from the center line of the first opening so as to form a recess around a portion of the edge of the first opening. The recess allows the disk to be mounted into the carrier by placing the disk in a portion of the first opening and in a portion of the recess without having the surface of the disk touching the surface of the recess. The disk is then lowered into the first opening while leaving the remainder of the carrier material adjacent the recess to block the flow of plasma and impurities from one side of the disk to the other during the coating of the surfaces of the disk with magnetic media. A plug is provided for placement in the center hole of the disk. The plug is in two portions, one of which contains a spring means for flexibly holding the two halves together during the coating of the disk with magnetic media so that thermal expansion of the disk during coating does not result in the plug rattling or coming loose from the disk. The plug also serves as a knob or handle by which the disk can be handled, carrier or mounted. A plurality of openings are provided in one carrier to allow both surfaces of a corresponding plurality of disks to be coated simul- i taneousty with magnetic media.
