Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve sliding properties by adding small quantities of BN and B4C, which are solid lubricants, to slider material. CONSTITUTION:Sintered nonmagnetic oxide, carbide, nitride or boride is employed as base material of slider material. The composite sintered material of two-three of the above mentioned materials has the same effect. Especially, when the base material is Al2O3, Al2O3-TiC, ZrO2, TiO2, SiC, MoSi2 or ZrB2, an excellent performance can be exhibited. As solid lubricants which are added to the base material in order to provide sliding properties, 5-30% of B4C, BN and C are suitable. With this constitution, a slider with excellent sliding properties and a long SCC life can be obtained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to nonmagnetic materials used for structural parts of magnetic heads, and in particular, to provide a slider that is essential to the construction of ferrite magnetic heads.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

磁気ディスク記憶装置において、スライダ部、すなわち
、薄膜磁気ヘッドはディスクよりわずかに浮上させた状
態で使用する方式が大部分である。
In most magnetic disk storage devices, a slider section, that is, a thin film magnetic head, is used in a state slightly floating above the disk.

そのため、磁気へラドスライダは急速で回転するディス
クとの接触も避けられない。すなわち、磁気記録密度の
増大化に伴い、スライダ材の浮上量をより一層近づける
必要が生じてきたためである。
Therefore, the magnetic herad slider cannot avoid contact with the rapidly rotating disk. That is, with the increase in magnetic recording density, it has become necessary to make the flying height of the slider material even closer.

とである。
As the flying height decreases, the chances of contact between the disk and the slider increase. Especially at the beginning of the rotation of the disk and
When stopped, the contact force between the two increases. As a result, unreadable accidents, so-called crashes, occur. Therefore, one of the characteristics required of the slider material of a thin film magnetic head is that the material has good sliding properties against the disk.

Many conventional slider materials do not take this into account because of their large flying height. Conventional products, for example, have hard materials that cause wear on the disk side, and soft materials that cause wear and tear on the slider itself, shortening its lifespan.Even with materials of the same hardness, there are problems with conformation, and both the disk and slider wear out. This has the disadvantage that it is not possible to achieve a long life. Since the slider must be non-magnetic, various oxides, carbides, etc. are provided. All of these are produced by molding and sintering powdered materials. In this case, the density of the sintered body does not increase, and if there are pores, the strength becomes weak, and cleaning liquid etc. are absorbed and discharged repeatedly, which is not preferable.

In addition, since the slider is very small with only 2 to 3 holes, workability is also a problem. Oxides and carbides are generally hard materials and have poor workability. For this reason, the special public official 58-5470
The publication provides AQz○5-TiC, a material with excellent workability. However, although this material has excellent wear resistance and workability, sliding properties are a problem, and it is not perfect. Disc wear is significant.

また、与えるダメージも大きい。It also deals a lot of damage.

Press this mixed powder with a press to a thickness of 6 ton/a#.
A green body with a diameter of 70 ae+ was prepared. This was set in a hot press using a graphite die, and the maximum heating temperature was 160 while applying pressure of 300 kg/aJ in a vacuum.
Sintered at 0°C. A magnetic RAD slider was made from the obtained sintered body, and a sliding test was conducted. The sliding test was conducted using a magnetic recording disk in which a mixture of magnetic recording medium powder (r-FezOa) and alumina filler with a resin was coated on a metal aluminum disk. The method used was called the vibration impact test method, and the output residual rate against the sliding time of the magnetic properties was measured. The test conditions were a peripheral speed of 24.5 m/s and a vibration impact frequency of 5.
FIG. 1 shows six results with a maximum acceleration of 700 G at 4 Hz and impact. The substrate composition will be described later, but it is AQzOs-30v.

As the amount of TiC added increases, the grinding resistance increases, but chipping decreases. But TiC is 40v
If it exceeds on/o, the grinding resistance becomes significantly large, which is not practical.
