A substrate made of a composite material is provided which includes a discrete phase including grains made of a first substance; and a continuous phase including a thin coating film made of a second substance and formed on the surface of the grains. The thin coating film has a mean thickness smaller than the mean particle size of the grains. The grains are separated substantially from each other by the thin coating film. The porosity of the composite material is 5% or less.

Composite substrate

A laminated magnetic material suitable for use as a material of a magnetic core has a plurality of layers of an Fe-Si-Al type magnetic metal and a plurality of electrically insulating layers both of which layers are laminated alternatingly, the magnetic metal containing 0.001 to 0.3 wt % of oxygen. The laminated magnetic material can be produced by forming, on a base film, a film made of a magnetic powder of an Fe-Si-Al type metal containing 0.001 to 0.3 wt % of oxygen, separating the film of the magnetic powder from the base film, laminating the separated film of magnetic powder so as to form a laminated structure, and extruding the laminated structure.

Laminated magnetic material and method of producing the same

A magnetic material having an Fe-Si-Al type magnetic alloy with addition of one or more additive elements selected from a group consisting of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Sc, Y, Nb, Ta and Hf. The material has been subjected to an oxidation heat-treatment so as to contain a predetermined amount of oxygen.

Magnetic material for a magnetic head

Magnetic head

Tape contact surface of a magnetic head is made of magnetic substance of multi-layered structure; interface insulation material for said multi layered structure and/or gap spacer material are made of oxides, complex oxides, nitrides and carbides of transition metal elements, IIa group elements of the periodic table and Zn; and accumulation of magnetic material from magnetic tape is prevented and output of magnetic head is stabilized.

Magnetic head having a laminated structure

The invention provides a process for causing growth of single crystal from the junction of a single crystal/polycrystal joined body by a low-temperature heat treatment by making use of the solid-phase growth of crystal. The growth of single crystal can be accomplished staby, with high reliability and in a solid phase by producing a stage satisfies the conditions for abnormal grain growth only at the portion close to the junction, that is, a state in which the joined body is locally kept higher than the grain growth temperature, by making use of the temperature gradient at the junction or the corresponding concentration of the additive.

Process for producing single-crystal ceramics

A polycrystalline ferrite containing Na, Zr and Ca in amounts of 0.01 to 0.5% by weight, 0.005 to 0.5% by weight and 0.01 to 0.5% by weight respectively, in Mn-Zn or Ni-Zn ferrite to thereby enhance the toughness of said ferrite. Said ferrite is suited for a magnetic head with improved mechanical strength and excellent fine workability.
