Abstract:
A recording head assembly includes a glass-gapped ferrite head bonded into a ceramic slider with a glass. Infrared bonding is employed. The infrared absorption properties of the glass are increased by the addition of cupric oxide.
Abstract:
A method of mounting a ferrite head within a slider wherein the head is positioned within a slot on the slider, a mass of glass composition is heated to thereby fill the gap between the head and slider, machining the head while being held between solidified glass and subsequently heating a second mass of glass by infrared radiation to fill in the depression created by the machine operation.
Abstract:
A magnetic head assembly includes a glass-gapped ferrite head bonded into a ceramic slider with a glass. The slider is made of a ceramic composition consisting essentially of the reaction product of 70 to 85 percent, by weight, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and 30-15 percent barium titanate (BaTiO3). Infrared bonding is employed. Copper may be introduced into the ceramic composition to enhance its infrared absorption properties.
