In the method of the present invention, lubricant layers of magnetic discs, which have fixed thickness, can be formed by volatilizing solvent. The method of forming the lubricant layer on the magnetic disc, comprises the steps of: dipping the magnetic disc into a solution in which the lubricant is diluted with the volatile solvent; taking out the magnetic disc from the solution; and volatilizing the volatile solvent from a surface of the magnetic disc, wherein a layer of specific liquid, whose specific gravity is less than that of the solution and which is less volatile and insoluble in the solution, is formed on a surface of the solution.

Method of forming lubricant layer on magnetic disc, device for forming

A magnetic recording medium able to cope with low flying height of the magnetic head in a CSS system and having fine surface roughness, wherein (1) a metal layer having columnar protrusions formed by the filming of Ti or the like or (2) a resin layer or glass resin layer having irregularly distributed through-holes are provided on the substrate of a magnetic recording medium to impart roughness (texture).

Magnetic recording medium and magnetic disc device

A magnetic recording medium, comprising Cr base layer containing up to about 25 atom % of nitrogen, preferably 5 to 15 atom %, and a magnetic film of Co alloy such as Co-Ni or Co-Ni-Cr alloy material deposited thereon, shows a clear improvement over that using a pure Cr base layer without nitrogen content in medium noise level and S/N ratio. In case of about 10 atom % nitrogen content in the base layer, the medium noise level is reduced by half and the S/N ratio is improved by 6 to 9 dB, while the other magnetic characteristics such as coercivity Hc, residual magnetization Br, and squareness ratio Sq are remaining the same.
