  • the distance between the magnetic head and the surface of the recording medium should be kept extremely small. They can be below 1 ⁇ m, for example in the case of vertical magnetization.

  • the surfaces of the protective layers formed according to the two methods are distinguished by the fact that C and F, but no adsorbates with oxygen, can be detected on them during eye electron spectroscopic examinations. It is also advantageously achieved that the layers can be wetted well with perfluoropolyethers and these can be adsorbed well. In a subsequent dip coating process, it is therefore possible to apply a thin, continuous film of the lubricant which has good tribological properties (good sliding values).

  • the magnetic head can slide aerodynamically over the plate rotating underneath it.
  • This behavior is tested over several 1000 cycles, the force required for starting being measured and the coefficient of friction being determined in this way. In between, the test is interrupted for a long time, with the magnetic head remaining on the disk.
  • the coefficient of static friction is then recorded.
  • the measures according to the invention allow an average value of the coefficient of friction ⁇ to be maintained which is clearly below the value of approximately 0.6 generally required by practice.

Abstract

Un support d'enregistrement (2) comprend une couche d'enregistrement magnétisable (7) recouverte d'une couche de protection (9) en carbone (C) ou en composé de carbone (C). Une couche antifriction (11) contenant un composé hydrocarbure fluoré est appliquée sur la couche de protection. Afin d'obtenir une bonne mouillabilité de la couche de protection, du fluor (F) est incorporé à au moins une des zones superficielles (9a) de la couche de protection (9) qui font face à la couche antifriction (11). Le fluor peut être incorporé simultanément avec la déposition de C ou du composé de C; ou l'on peut incorporer ultérieurement le fluor dans une couche temporaire de C ou de composé de C, à partir de sa surface libre.
