Abstract

PURPOSE:To economically obtain a magnetic head which is free from uneven wear by laminating Fe-Al-Si-Co alloy layers having high magnetic permeability and high-and low saturation magnetic flux densities on the butt surfaces in a gap part. CONSTITUTION:The magnetic Fe-Al-Si-Co alloy layers 11 contg. Co at a high ratio and having the high magnetic permeability and high saturation magnetic flux density are formed on the surface in the gap part of a yoke 10 consisting of Mn-Zn signal crystal ferrite and the magnetic Fe-Al-Si-Co or Fe-Al-Si alloy layers 12 having the high magnetic permeability and low saturation magnetic flux density are formed thereon. An SiO gap material is used for the gap part 13. These magnetic layers are formed by an RF magnetron sputtering method. Since the alloys 11 of the 1st layer and the alloys 12 of the 2nd layer are made of the extremely analogous compsn., the alloys are easily producible by a sputtering method necessitating mere changing over of targets and since the magnetic permeabilities of the two magnetic layers exhibit nearly the same high values, the magnetic head having good characteristics is constituted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a magnetic head, and more particularly to the structure of a gap portion of a magnetic head.

(Prior Art) Currently, in magnetic recording and reproducing devices, dual-purpose magnetic heads for recording and reproducing are widely used in order to reduce production costs and simplify the device.

The gap length of the magnetic head should be large during recording from the standpoint of recording efficiency, but during playback it is better to have a small gap length so that short wavelength signals can be sufficiently reproduced.
Since the gap length of the a9c recording head is set between the respective dedicated magnetic heads, it has a defect in that its characteristics are inferior to those of the dedicated magnetic heads in both recording and reproduction.

To solve this problem, a magnetic head for recording/reproducing with a variable gap has been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-66
In other words, we use an Ea head with a structure in which a magnetic layer with a lower saturation magnetic east density than that of the head body is inserted into the cap of the magnetic head. The magnetic layer is saturated, thereby operating as a magnetic head with an effectively large gap length, and the magnetic flux applied from a recording medium such as a magnetic disk during reproduction does not saturate this magnetic layer, thereby effectively reducing the gap length. The magnetic head is operated as a magnetic head having the following characteristics. This variable gap magnetic head is excellent in that it has two magnetic heads dedicated to recording and reproduction, and has characteristics such as rotation.

(Problems with the Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 1, the structure near the gap of the variable gap magnetic head described above includes a main body 1 made of a high permeability magnetic material with a large saturation magnetic flux density, and a main body 1 in the gap. A high permeability magnetic layer 7#2 with a low saturation magnetic flux density formed on one of the opposing surfaces, or a high permeability magnetic layer 2.2 with a low saturation magnetic flux density formed on both sides as shown in FIG. The main body 1 is usually made of ferrite-based permalloy (Ni-Fe alloy), ferrite-based sendust (Fe-Si-A I alloy), ferrite, etc., and the magnetic layer 2 .2 is made of garnet etc.

In this way, since the main body and the magnetic layer in the gap portion are made of different materials, it takes a lot of effort to manufacture the magnetic head. Another problem is that because the materials of the main body and the magnetic layer are different, the wear is uneven and wears unevenly, resulting in changes in characteristics and clogging.

(Summary of Effects) According to the above configuration, since the magnetic layer with high saturation magnetic flux density and the magnetic layer with low saturation magnetic flux density differ in Co content, both magnetic layers can be easily manufactured using the same manufacturing method. This makes it possible to increase economic efficiency and reduce the cost of the magnetic head. Furthermore, since the mechanical properties of both magnetic layers are almost not different, there is no wear due to one side of the magnetic layer.

First, the relative magnetic permeability is constant up to Co 25 wt%, and decreases rapidly above that point. If it exceeds about 30 wt%, the magnetic permeability becomes too small. Coercive force HC is also about 3
It increases rapidly above 0wt%. On the other hand, the saturation magnetic flux density increases linearly with the Co content. Therefore, if possible, a Fe-A I-51-Co alloy having a Co content of approximately 25 wt % < (7) is used in the magnetic layer 1 of FIG.
1, and a Fe-A I-5i alloy or a Fe-Al-Si-Co alloy with a Co content close to that is used as the magnetic layer 1.
2, the magnetic layer 12 is saturated during recording,
It can be used as a variable gap means that has high magnetic permeability during reproduction.
