Abstract:
A hermetically encapsulated magnetic record member is produced by applying a liquid mixture containing one or more organometallic compounds, an organic solvent and magnetic particles to a thermally stable substrate, e.g. of silicon. The applied mixture is then heated to melt the glass in the organometallic compound so that upon cooling of the glass, the magnetic particles are encapsulated therein.
Abstract:
In manufacturing a magnetic recording medium by vapour-depositing a magnetic metal film (10) containing Co-Cr with 70 - 90 weight % Co as host material on a high polymer substrate (1), with or without intermediate layer(s) (8,9) inbetween, by making the high polymer substrate run around a cylindrical can (2), conditions are selected such that linear expansion coefficient of the substrate is 1.0 x 10 -5 -2.9 x 10 -5 /°C and temperature of the can surface is 150° - 300°C; thereby normal or inverse curling of the resultant recording medium is substantially eliminated.
Abstract:
The burnishing tool has a plurality of holes (41) in the planar surface (40) which engages the flexible magnetic disk (4). Each hole contains a burnishing blade (42) positioned at 45° to the direction of motion. A manifold (20) connects each hole to a vacuum pump which draws air into the holes causing the flexible magnetic disk to fly against the planar surface. The vacuum also removes the debris from the burnishing tool.

The present invention relates to an improved method for preparing a magnetic recording method having excellent magnetic orientation comprising the steps of 1) dispersing ferromagnetic fine particles which are plate-shaped and which have an axis of magnetization perpendicular to the plates of the particles in a binder and 2) coating a magnetic coating layer on a non-magnetic support wherein the method comprises, after coating the magnetic coating layer and before drying it, subjecting the surface of the magnetic layer to a magnetic field from the direction perpendicular to the support to produce a magnetic orientation while contacting the surface of the magnetic layer with a flexible smoothening sheet.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method and a device for mass-producing a magnetic recording medium which has excellent wear and corrosion resistances and uniform quality along the longitudinal and transverse directions of an elongated base body, wherein the elongated base body in a vacuum chamber is fed to continuously deposit a ferromagnetic material thereon, while a gas is sprayed in the vicinity of an incident angle control section of a mask for controlling an angle of incidence of a vapor flow from a vapor source to the elongated base body. The angle of incidence is kept constant to prevent deposition of the vapor material on the incident angle control section, and simultaneously, a uniform oxide film is formed on the ferromagnetic layer using a gas containing at least oxygen.
Abstract:
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 C axis is oriented normal to the layer surface, is proposed. The known perpendicular magnetic recording medium has been produced by an RF sputtering, but such medium is of too low flexibility to use it in the form of a magnetic tape. In addition, the production rate of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium by RF sputtering is very low. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium is very flexible due to particle pattern (Figures 10, 12 and 13) completely distinct from the conventional columnar pattern (Figures 8 and 11). In addition, the production rate is high, because the base (20) is located beside a space between the targets (T,, T 2 ) of a sputtering device and further the magnetic field is generated perpendicularly to the sputtering surfaces (T 1s , T 25 ) by a field coil (31) or magnets (32,33). The present invention makes it possible to commercially produce the perpendicular magnetic recording medium, especially in the tape form.
