Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase adhesion strength of a lubricant and to improve lubricating property and wearing resistance by incorporating hydrogen into as carbon protective film. CONSTITUTION:A chromium base film 2 and a metal magnetic film 3 are formed on a glass substrate 1, on which a hydrogenated carbon film 4 as the protective layer is formed. The amount of hydrogen contained in the hydrogenated carbon film 4 is preferably at the level showing 100-1,000cm<-1> absorption coefft. The interface energy between the protective film and the lubricant decreases because of hydrogen contained in the protective film and consequently, bonding of the protective film and lubricant is increased. Thus, enough wearing resistance and scratching resistance can be obtained.

In the C8S system, the head and the magnetic disk surface are in physical contact in the stopped state, and the head and the magnetic disk move relative to each other in a state of contact at the start and end of rotation. The frictional force at this time progresses wear on the head and magnetic disk surface. Additionally, the presence of minute dust during recording and playback may cause the head to come into contact with the magnetic disk surface at high speed, creating a large frictional force between the head and the magnetic disk surface, which may destroy the head and magnetic film. .
