INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD This invention relates to a non-magnetic porcelain composition used in structural parts for magnetic heads, etc. The composition is changed to match the thermal expansion coefficient of ferrite as a core material. The present invention relates to a non-magnetic ceramic composition for a magnetic head, which has a high density, a small coefficient of wear, and has little reactivity with welded glass. BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY In general, non-magnetic ceramic compositions used as structural parts are required to have mechanical properties such as reliability, strength, and hardness depending on their use, and are also used in conjunction with various other materials. In addition to mechanical properties, thermal properties are also required for materials used in structural components exposed to high temperatures. For example, porcelain compositions used as structural parts of automobile engines and other internal combustion engines have excellent heat insulation properties and sufficient strength at high temperatures, and have a small coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance. It is also required to have high reliability. On the other hand, the ceramic composition used for the slider and spacer of a magnetic head is assembled by glass welding to a core made of Mn--Zn ferrite or Ni--Zn ferrite. Therefore, for the ceramic composition, a BaO--TiO 2 -based or CaO--TiO 2 -based nonmagnetic material is used, which has a coefficient of thermal expansion equivalent to that of the above-mentioned ferrite used for the core material. However, the non-magnetic material tends to react with the fused glass and create pores in the glass, and when the magnetic head and the recording medium run in contact with each other, magnetic powder from the recording medium may adhere to the pores and cause chipping. This may also cause damage to the recording medium.
Furthermore, since the non-magnetic material has a large coefficient of friction, there have been problems in that the surfaces of the recording medium and slider are easily scratched. Furthermore, as mentioned above, for magnetic heads, it is necessary to make the thermal expansion coefficient of the non-magnetic material match the thermal expansion coefficient of the ferrite by glass-welding a core made of ferrite and a slider or spacer made of a non-magnetic material. However, the coefficient of thermal expansion of ferrite, which is the core material, is determined by the composition determined by the electromagnetic properties, and usually has a coefficient of thermal expansion of 105 to 125×10 -7 /°C. Therefore, there is a demand for non-magnetic materials for sliders and spacers that can be selected so that their coefficient of thermal expansion matches that of the ferrite core material. Purpose of the Invention The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional porcelain compositions, and allows the composition to be adjusted so that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the non-magnetic material matches the coefficient of thermal expansion of the ferrite of the core material. It has a high density and a low wear coefficient, and when assembled into a magnetic head, there is little reactivity with the welded glass, so there is no generation of bubbles in the welded glass, and it also improves the mechanical and dynamic characteristics of the magnetic head. The present invention proposes a zirconium oxide-based nonmagnetic ceramic composition for magnetic heads. Summary of the Invention This invention provides at least one of CeO 2 , Dy 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 at 42 to 55
This is a non-magnetic ceramic composition for a magnetic head, containing 42 to 55 mol% of one or more of CeO 2 , Dy 2 O 3 , and Y 2 O 3 with the remainder being ZrO 2 and unavoidable impurities.
Contains mol%, the remainder is ZrO 2 and 1 part of ZrO 2
The gist of the present invention is a non-magnetic ceramic composition for a magnetic head, in which 10 mol% or less of ZrO 2 is substituted with one or both of TiO 2 and SnO 2 and unavoidable impurities. Structure of the Invention The reason for limiting the composition in this invention will be explained. CeO 2 , Dy 2 O 3 , and Y 2 O 3 are effective as nonmagnetic materials for magnetic heads in order to adjust their coefficient of thermal expansion to be equivalent to that of ferrite as the core material. Therefore, the minimum coefficient of thermal expansion of the core material ferrite is
In order to obtain a temperature of 105×10 -7 /°C or more, it is necessary to contain 42 mol % or more of any one or more of the above. However, if it exceeds 55 mol%, the strength of the porcelain deteriorates and sintering becomes difficult, which is not preferable, so the content is limited to a range of 42 to 55 mol%. Note that for CeO 2 , Dy 2 O 3 , and Y 2 O 3 , a portion of at least one of the oxides added can be replaced with 10 mol% or less of other rare earth oxides such as Sm 2 O 3 . . ZrO 2 is the main component of this invention composition,
In order to stabilize the composition and improve crystallinity during sintering, a part of ZrO 2 may be replaced with one or both of TiO 2 and SnO 2 within a range of 10 mol% or less of ZrO 2 . can. In this case, if more than 10 mol% of ZrO 2 is substituted, cracks may occur after sintering due to the effect of the substituted tetravalent metal oxide, the coefficient of dynamic friction will increase, and the mechanical strength will deteriorate significantly, so it is preferable. do not have. In addition, in this invention, in order to stabilize the composition, one or both of Nb 2 O and Ti 2 O 5 are added to ZrO 2
It can be contained as a sintering aid in a range of 10 mol% or less. In addition to being used as a material for magnetic sliders and spacers, the porcelain composition of the present invention has a high coefficient of thermal expansion. As an insulating material for a magnetic metal thin film, the ceramic composition according to the present invention can be formed into a thin film by sputtering, vapor deposition, etc. and used by laminating it on a magnetic thin film. The non-magnetic ceramic composition of the present invention can be manufactured not only by a molding and sintering method of raw material powder using a powder metallurgy method but also by an injection molding method of suspended powder. EXAMPLE An example of a ceramic composition according to the present invention is shown below. Example 1 Mn-Zn ferrite with a thermal expansion coefficient of 120×10 -7 /°C contains 49.5 mol% of CeO 2 and 50.5 mol% of ZrO 2
porcelain compositions are suitable. Example 2 Commercially available ZrO 2 , CeO 2 , Dy 2 O 3 with a purity of 99.5% or more,
Using Y 2 O 3 , it is formulated as shown in Table 1 and mixed in a ball mill, then subjected to the usual ceramic manufacturing processes of calcining, pulverization, and molding, and then heated at 1350 to 1480 °C in air or oxygen. The compositions were sintered by heating at a temperature of 2 to 4 hours to produce non-magnetic porcelain compositions Nos. 1 to 14 according to the present invention. For comparison, samples Nos. 15 to 21 having compositions outside the composition range of the present invention were manufactured under the same conditions. Samples were collected from the above products to determine density, transverse rupture strength,
Hardness, coefficient of thermal expansion and workability were tested.
The results are shown in Table 1 along with the sintering conditions. The workability was evaluated using the same processing machine and expressed in watts as an increase in the power of the spindle motor. The various sintered blocks obtained are cut into shapes of 10 mm x 10 mm x 10 mm, and one of the 10 mm x 10 mm surfaces is polished to a mirror finish using diamond abrasive grains. After that, the glass used for welding is placed on the finished mirror surface and heated to 700 to 1000℃ in an atmospheric heating furnace.
The glass was held for 1 hour to melt and weld it onto the sample surface. Next, the surface to which the mirror-finished glass is welded is cut, and the cut surface is polished again with diamond abrasive grains to give it a mirror-like finish, and the interface between the sample and the welded glass is observed using an electron microscope, etc. Then, the reactivity with glass was investigated based on the presence or absence of air bubbles generated at the interface and the unbalanced corrosion caused by the glass at the interface. the result,
The porcelain composition of this invention has no reactivity with glass, and no air bubbles or uneven corrosion due to glass was observed.
