This invention focuses on soft ferrite, especially Mn-Zn
The present invention relates to a glass composition that is a non-magnetic material for forming the gap portion of a magnetic head made of ferrite, and relates to a glass composition for a magnetic head that significantly reduces glass erosion of ferrite and the generation of bubbles within the glass. Generally, a magnetic head is assembled by glass welding a core made of a magnetic material such as ferrite and structural parts made of a non-magnetic material. That is, the gap portion is formed by melting and injecting glass into a predetermined gap between the cores by glass pouring or glass glazing. Regardless of the glass welding method, since the glass is heated to a high temperature above its softening point, glass erosion of the ferrite occurs at the interface between the ferrite and the glass, resulting in a difference between the optical gap length and the effective gap length. In addition, air bubbles may occur in the glass that forms the gap, and when processed into a magnetic head, air bubbles may be exposed on the sliding surface with the recording medium, and this may be the starting point for the ferrite crystal to fall off. There was also the problem of progressive deterioration of wear resistance. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary not only to improve the manufacturing method of the magnetic head to prevent glass erosion and bubble generation, but also to improve the glass itself to create a glass that inherently has less glass erosion and bubble generation. A composition is desperately needed. The preferable properties of this glass composition for magnetic heads are that the erosion of ferrite is as small as possible, and that the effective gap length can be as close to the set value as possible;
It can be strongly bonded with less air bubbles in the glass during welding, has low alkali elution and is chemically stable, and has a thermal expansion coefficient within the range of ±15×10 -7 /℃ compared to ferrite. There is something
One example of this is that it has wear resistance for magnetic recording media comparable to that of ferrite in magnetic head cores. The object of the present invention is to provide a glass composition for magnetic heads having the above-mentioned properties. Intended for glass compositions. That is, this invention includes SiO2 15wt% to 22wt%, B2O3 18wt % to 28wt%, Al2O3 2wt % to 6wt%, BaO 3wt% to 8wt%, MnO2 0.2wt% to 4wt%, Contains at least one of NaO 4wt% to 10wt% and K 2 O 2wt% to 4wt%, and the remainder is substantially ZnO.
A glass composition for a magnetic head, characterized in that it further contains at least one of LiO 2 2wt% or less, MgO 2wt% or less, and CaO 5wt% or less, the remainder being substantially
This is a glass composition characterized by consisting of ZnO. The reason for limiting the composition range of the glass composition according to the present invention will be explained below. If SiO 2 exceeds 22wt%, the coefficient of thermal expansion becomes too small, and the softening point of the glass becomes high, making it easy to corrode ferrite.If SiO 2 is less than 15wt%, it lacks chemical stability. 15wt%~
It is assumed to be 22wt%. B 2 O 3 is included to adjust the glass viscosity and suppress the tendency to devitrify, but if it exceeds 28 wt%, the thermal expansion coefficient becomes too small, and if it is less than 18 wt%, the thermal expansion coefficient becomes too large, and Mn- Since the thermal expansion coefficient of Zn ferrite exceeds the range of ±15×10 -7 /°C, the content is set at 18 wt% to 28 wt%. When Al 2 O 3 exceeds 6wt%, the viscosity increases,
If the glass welding temperature becomes too high, glass erosion of the ferrite will easily occur, and if it is less than 2wt%, the water resistance of the glass will deteriorate, so 2wt% or more
The content is 6wt%. Since BaO has the effect of reducing the tendency to devitrify,
The content should be 3wt% to 8wt%. The content of MnO 2 is a feature of the glass composition according to the present invention, and it is effective in suppressing the cell reaction during vitrification and preventing the formation of bubbles in the glass. If it is less than 4 wt%, the effect of preventing bubble generation will be small, and if it exceeds 4 wt%, the reducing property will be large and cause damage to the crucible etc. during melting, so the content should be 0.2 wt% to 4 wt%. Na 2 O and K 2 O are contained to promote vitrification. If Na 2 O exceeds 10 wt%, it tends to react with ferrite, which is undesirable. If it is less than 4 wt%, devitrification tends to occur in the glass. This causes variations in glass crystallization and reduces glass strength.
The content should be 4wt% to 10wt%. If K 2 O exceeds 4wt%, the coefficient of thermal expansion is too large, and if it is less than 2wt%, the water resistance deteriorates.
The content should be 2wt% to 4wt%. ZnO is the main component of the glass composition according to the present invention, suppresses the reaction of glass with ferrite,
It has the effect of making the coefficient of thermal expansion of glass similar to that of ferrite. Also, the optimal amount of ZnO is
It is 26wt% to 30wt%. Furthermore, in the glass composition according to the invention,
LiO, MgO, CaO to improve water resistance of glass
LiO contains at least one of the following:
If it exceeds 2wt%, devitrification phenomenon will occur, causing variations in properties such as the coefficient of thermal expansion, which is undesirable.
Also, MgO exceeding 2wt%, CaO exceeding 5wt%
are undesirable because they increase the viscosity of the glass and accelerate the tendency to devitrify.
MgO2wt% or less, CaO5wt% or less. Examples are shown below. It has the composition and thermal expansion coefficient shown in Table 1.
A pair of boat-shaped cores 1 and 2 shown in FIG. 1 were prepared from Mn--Zn ferrite material, and the gap forming surface on the side having the notch of each boat-shaped core was precisely polished. A pair of boat-shaped cores 1 and 2 are connected to spacers 3 and 4, respectively.
Assemble the polished surfaces facing each other through the core 1,
Four types of glass rods 5 according to the present invention, labeled a to d, having compositions, softening points, and thermal expansion coefficients shown in Table 2 were placed near the apex portion of No. 2, respectively. Next, the glass rod 5 used was heated to 730°C, which is above the softening point, and held for 10 minutes to melt the glass, filling the gap part 6 with glass by capillary action, and then cooling and solidifying it. Finished with the magnetic head material shown in the figure. Note that the heating was performed in an N 2 atmosphere to prevent deterioration of the Mn-Zn ferrite due to oxidation. In addition, under the above-mentioned conditions and glass pouring method, comparative examples (e, f) glass rods other than the compositions of the present invention having the compositions, softening points, and coefficients of thermal expansion shown in Table 2 were used, and similar magnetic head materials were made. Created. Next, the generation of bubbles in the glass of the gap portion 6, the amount of alkali elution, and the Vickers hardness of the magnetic head material obtained were examined. The results are shown in Table 3. Note that the bubble generation status was evaluated by the bubble generation rate (%), which is the ratio of the bubble surface area to the exposed glass surface area. As is clear from the test results in Tables 2 and 3, the glass composition according to the present invention has Mn-Zn
It has a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of ferrite, and it can be seen that there is almost no bubble generation even in the gap part, which is significantly less than that of the comparative example glass composition. In addition, the amount of alkali elution was extremely small and the material was chemically stable, there was almost no erosion of ferrite, and the effective gap length was close to the design value.
