Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the corrosion of a magnetic metallic medium by coating a metal baser than the magnetic medium to part or over the entire part of the non-recording and reproducing region on the magnetic metallic medium so that the base metallic film is selectively corroded in corrosive environment. CONSTITUTION:An Ni-P film 2 is formed by electroless plating on a disk-shaped Al alloy substrate 1 and is finished to a specular surface. The Co-Ni-P magnetic metallic medium 3 is then formed by electroless plating thereon. The base metal layer 4 is then provided to part or the entire part of the non-recording and reproducing region by a photoresist method and a protective film 5 is formed thereon. Fe, Zn, Fe-Al alloy, Cu-Zn alloy, etc., are used as the base metal. SiO2, SiO, carbon, Al2O3, etc., are usable for the protective film 5.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In order to improve the recording density of magnetic disks, it is essential to reduce the separation length between the magnetic medium and the magnetic head. Reducing the magnetic head capacity is currently an important issue that must be achieved urgently.1 For example, in order to obtain a high recording density of 50 KBPI or higher, the separation length between the magnetic head and the magnetic medium must be 0.2 μm or less. It is said that there is. The flying height of magnetic heads using current air bearing systems is determined by the mean free path of gas molecules in principle, but in practical terms is related to ensuring mechanical durability and reliability due to head crashes, head hits, etc. Due to the limitations, it is difficult to reduce the flying height to 0.15 μm or less with the current state of the art. Therefore, in order to obtain a separation length of s 0.2 pm or less, it is necessary to suppress the thickness of the protective film to 50 nm or less. However, it is difficult to coat a thin film with a thickness of 50 nm or less uniformly and continuously, and the density of defects such as micropores and microcracks increases, so the magnetic medium may be locally damaged through such defects. It has a fatal flaw as a protective film for magnetic disks, as it is corroded and leads to an increase in bit errors.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, in the magnetic disk of the present invention, a part or all of the non-recording/reproducing portion on the magnetic disk using a metal magnetic thin film is coated with a metal less base than the magnetic medium metal. In a magnetic disk having such a structure, the base metal in the non-recording/reading part undergoes selective corrosion, so that recording/reading is possible even with a protective film of 50 nm or less in thickness. The present invention provides a magnetic disk that can prevent corrosion of the metal magnetic medium in its parts.

(Function) The present invention is based on a principle generally called catalytic corrosion of dissimilar metals or battery corrosion. Whereas stones act as anodes and cause relatively fast corrosion, metals that act as cathodes (when the metal is alone) also exhibit a significant, sometimes negligible, reduction in corrosion rate. When dissimilar metals come into contact, which metal becomes the anode and undergoes corrosion is determined by the corrosion potential of the metal in the corrosive environment in question, but the general tendency is to It can be estimated based on the ionization potential of the component elements. Corrosion prevention technology based on the principle of catalytic corrosion of dissimilar metals has so far been mainly used for corrosion protection of underwater structures such as bridges. For example, submerged bridge piers are equipped with metals (generally called sacrificial anodes, such as Zn) that are less noble than the steel materials that make up the piers, protecting the piers from corrosion. The present invention utilizes the above-mentioned principle for corrosion protection of magnetic disks, and the base metal film coated on the metal magnetic medium is selectively corroded in a high-temperature, high-humidity corrosive environment. This is intended to prevent corrosion of magnetic media.

In addition, an aSS (contact start/stop) test was conducted on the magnetic disks prepared by coating linear perfluoroalkyl polyether as a liquid lubricant with a thickness of 5 nm using a spin cord method to compare mechanical durability. In the 08B test, a magnetic head made of a slider manufactured by Altiq was used, and the magnetic head was pressed under conditions of a load of 15y and a head flying height of 0.15 pm. The aSS number of times, which is a guideline for the mechanical durability of comparative samples that are not coated with base metals, is 150,000 times or more for comparative sample 1 (8i0.-based protective film) and 120,000 times or more for SiO-based protective film comparative sample 2. , 50,000 times or more for carbon protective film comparison sample 3, A1.
Comparative sample 5, an OI-based protective film, was used more than 80,000 times. If the magnetic disk of the present invention has the same protective film material, it will show the same number of C8S durability tests as those values, and the base metal coating on the non-recording/reproducing area where the magnetic head does not run will improve the mechanical strength of the magnetic disk. It can be seen that it does not have any negative impact on durability.
